CAPTAINS FILE:
FROM NAYUDU TO KOHLI: INDIA'S TEST CRICKET CAPTAINS
Rob Harvey’s Captains File: India takes you on a journey from the days of the maharajas, and the debut skipper, the hard hitting disciplinarian Colonel CK Nayudu, to the new age under flamboyant captain Virat Kohli, and every one in between.
Thirty two chapters dedicated to the Test captains of India, where they came from, their captaincy stats, a study of their tactics and an overall analysis of their ability to do one of the hardest jobs in cricket: manage a team full of players with different languages, different ethnicities and different religions.
- There are victories, there are losses. There are draws. There’s a tie.
- A near death experience and just a little Vaseline.
- A side all out with only five wickets down and an attack consisting entirely of spinners.
- There’s a fall from an elephant and a near miss from a tiger.
- A prince who marries a Bollywood star.
- ... and some missing teeth...
- Oh, and then there's that fellow Mankad.
"Princes and pressmen, sportsmen and statesmen – all have played a big part in the muddle of Indian captaincy and, frankly speaking, I must say that they have not always played cricket." - CK Nayudu
