Talk:C. K. Nayudu

Nayudu the cricketer
His physical courage was incredible. In the Test at The Oval in 1936, facing the bowling of fast bowler Gubby Allen, he was hit over the chest as he stepped down the pitch and for a time he could not breathe. However, he again walked down the wicket for the next ball, another bouncer: this time, Nayudu hooked it for four. Ramachandra Guha tells another story :


 * C.K. was playing for Holkar against Bombay in the final of the Ranji Trophy. This time too he was struck by a bouncer from a young and international class fast bowler, Dattu Phadkar. There was, however, one difference: this ball hit him full on the mouth rather than on his chest. C.K. now spat out three front teeth, swept them away impatiently with his bat, and prepared to face the next ball. Phadkar, out of respect for the Old Man, cut down his pace. "Dattu," said Nayudu sternly, "I am fine - do not help up." He went on to score 60 against a side that continued as many as six Test bowlers.

India's interzonal under-22 championship is named after him. On CK's birth centenary in 1995, BCCI instituted an award in his name for lifetime achievement. It has so far been won by Lala Amarnath, Mushtaq Ali, Vijay Hazare, KN Prabhu, Polly Umrigar, Hemu Adhikari, Subhash Gupte, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, B.B.Nimbalkar and Chandu Borde, and the Indian spin quartet.

Test Captain or National Captain
Boxes for early captains have 'National Captain' whereas the accurate representation would have been 'National Test Captain'. While it is agreed that other forms of cricket did not exist at that time, however i feel that the better way of representing is to avoid the term 'National Captain' and be more specific.

Information about descendants removed
We do not include information about many/all of a person's descendants. That is not related to their biography. Furthermore, none of that information was sourced, so it cannot remain in the article even if people think it's relevant. Please do not re-add without a source and without justifying what it has to do with this article. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:46, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
