On 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.

1911, 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.

India'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.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is Indias 20-20 captain. Should he become Indias ODI captain too?

has belied hopes by his decisions in the last test-match against England....MS DHONI is not that much experienced to be as captain of Indian cricket team either in ODI or in 20-20. I feel Yuvaraj singh and the conditions to the real facts and perfored very well. this leads Dhonui the biggest example to lead the Indian Team....no never...yes...Since he is gaining experience with captain Dravid, it would be easy for him

Dravid steps down as Captain: Is this the right move?

to resign as captain....No. He has done it in protest agianst the decision of Indian selectors for the world 20:20 cricket now underway at SA....Its the right move by the dravid because now he has to concentrate on his own batting & he should not take enough pressure on him due to media, but its a great loss to the indian cricket....No.Not right moment but captaincy cannot be forced on anyone and so final

amazing skills achieved those results which were considered unachiveable then....I feel Dhoni is still abachha in Indian cricket and has a long way to go.However he has the potential to become a good captain he just started his captaincy we dont compare him with our previous captain but i really think so that dhoni is the right captain for indian cricket team. he is doing quite well in his captaincy india

Who should now become the Captain of Team India?

decisions after becoming captain of Indian Cricket team. His decisions were proved wrong in World Cup and in recent England tour. Even before also, he had declared inning when Sachin was on the edge the right directions to other Indian cricket team players. Giving captainship to Saurav will again make problems for his batting performance and he has currently refused to become a captain, too. And giving

Y MSD SHOULD NOT BE A CAPTIAN OF TEST MATCHES ???

. That is the reason that some of the past Indian players are worried about the captaincy of Dhoni, since he is relatively new to test cricket. But, I think that he will do it perfectly. He is a good ODI and T20 captain.until then a great servant of indian cricket like kumble must be rewarde with captaincy and dhoni shouldnt be overburdened.we all know the amount of criticism a captain has to undergo after a loss
