Manisha, there is a bit of history to this than just C.K. Nayudu.\n\nOn 26 Jan 1893 there was a match played between Lord Hawke's XI in India  at the Madan Mohan Malaviya Stadium, Allahabad. This is the first recorded first-class match played by India. The Indian team was captained by a certain George MacLagan Chesney,  a Mussoorie  born Englishman.\n\n1911, an Indian team went on their first official tour of England, but only played English county teams and not the English cricket team. In their first match against Oxford University at Christ Church College Ground, Oxford, the Indian team was captained by Bhupendrasingh Rajindersingh, also known as the Maharaja of Patiala. \n\nIndia's first test captain was C.K. Nayudu in 1932. In ODIs Ajit Wadekar was the first Indian captain in the 1974 Prudential Trophy against England.

The captain of the Indian cricket team during the 1964/65 season was the Nawab of Pataudi Jr. - Mansoor Ali Khan. India played 2 series in this season. 1st against Australia where we played 3 matches with a win, a loss and a draw as the results. 2nd was played against New Zealand where we won a match and drawing 3 and thus winning the series.\n\n\nNot many people but the Nawab of Pataudi Sr. also captained India for a seaon in 1946 v/s England. We lost that series with a loss and 2 draws as the outcome of the 3 match series.

I believe Sir Don Bradman was/is the best batsman in the world, he cant be no less than the best with a test average of 99.4....asked to chose from the above 5 ....Sachin Tendulkar gets my vote....he might be out of form at times , but his records are there to prove his worth.\nsachin10dulkar@yahoo.com :)

Yes,Gangully is a better player than other player's like Sreesanth, R.P.Singh, Raina etc. He is the most successful captain than Dravid and other captains. The selector's and captain Rahul Dravid give no chance to Gangully for doing better. They are saying that there is no need for Gangully.But he is made the Team India. I think he is enough capability to return cricket. The captain and selector's not give chance because he is a Bengali boy.But one day will when bengali's are ruled in India then they see the selector's and the other community. I think and whished that Gangully will return to Indian Team like a Tiger of Bengal.

experience wise it should be Ramnaresh Sarwan..he's been around for a while and after lara and chanderpaul he's the best option left to captain the windies!
