Maharaj Kumar Hitendra Singh Narayan (1 July 1890 – 7 November 1920), commonly anglicised as Prince Hitendra Narayan, played first-class cricket for Somerset in 1909 and 1910.
He later played in first-class matches for teams brought together by his brother, the Maharaja of Cooch Behar. Known variously in his cricket career as "Kumar Narayan" or "Hitendra Narayan", he was educated at Eton College and Cambridge University and was a forceful right-handed batsman.
His four first-class matches for Somerset in 1909 and 1910 were not successful, with a top score of just 16 in his first game, against the 1909 Australians.
In 1918, he played three matches for his brother's scratch side against teams composed largely of expatriate Englishmen.
The matches have first-class status although all three were of only two-days' duration; Narayan was not successful in any of them as a batsman.
