Pearson Harvey St Regis Surita (1913–1995) was a corporate executive and cricket commentator for All India Radio. Surita hailed from Calcutta (now Kolkata) and was of Armenian descent ("one of the few left in Calcutta after independence"). Several articles mention Surita as one of India's most famous and respected radio cricket commentators, often in nostalgic tones. Henry Blofeld twice called Surita India's "greatest cricket commentator ever". Surita's "big moment" as a cricket commentator is said to have come in 1959, when he was invited as a commentator by the BBC, along with the Maharaja of Vizianagram, during India's tour of England the same year. Surita was also an occasional left-arm spin bowler, having played for Calcutta University and a team representing the Maharaja of Cooch Behar in the 1930s, in a one-off match against a visiting Australian team led by Jack Ryder.
