Answer 1

The first Indian cricketer is Ranjithshinji.

Answer 2

Lieutenant-Colonel Maharajadhiraj Maharaja Jam Sri Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji Jadeja, Maharaja Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, GCSI, GBE.

Helluva name; he is better known as Ranjitsinhji, or just Ranji.

Ranji was educated at the prestigious Rajkumar College Rajkot and at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge University, where he arrived in 1891.

Prior to his arrival at Cambridge, Ranji had never played an organised game of cricket. Nevertheless, he won a cricket Blue in his final year. After graduating, Ranji moved to play county cricket for Sussex. He played his first county match at Lord's in May 1895. C. B. Fry became a close friend.

Ranji made his Test debut for England in 1896 becoming the first Indian to play Test cricket . His nephew, KS Duleepsinhji, also played for England later. Ranji scored 62 and 154 not out against Australia at Old Trafford in his first Test, becoming the second batsman after W. G. Grace to score a century on his debut for England and also the first batsman to score 100 before lunch (on the third day, moving from 41 not out to 154 not out in just over 2 hours). He scored 175 in the first innings of his first overseas Test, also against Australia in 1897 (at that time it was the highest score that had ever been made for England in Test cricket). Ranji's feat of scoring hundreds in his debut home and away Tests was not emulated by any English player until Andrew Strauss in 2004.

Ranji scored runs very heavily in county and Test cricket between 1895 and 1904, passing 1,000 runs in 10 successive domestic seasons (over 3,000 runs in 1899 and 1900) and captaining Sussex from 1899 to 1903. In scoring 3159 first-class runs, average 63.18, from 58 innings for Sussex in 1899 he became the first man to score over 3,000 runs in an English first class season. His mastery on treacherous or crumbling pitches could reach amazing levels: in 1900 he scored 204 against Middlesex on a very difficult pitch on which only Fry of Sussex' other batsmen scored over 25. In 1903 against Sydney Barnes and Walter Brearley on a fiery wicket at Old Trafford the two batsmen shared in a briliant stand of 196. 'Ranji' stands alone in scoring a first-class hundred in each innings on the same day.

He returned to India at the end of 1904, but came back to play two further complete English seasons for Sussex (1908 and 1912), again scoring 1,000 runs each time. Ranji returned to England a final time to play in three matches for Sussex in 1920: aged 48, overweight, and blind in one eye after a shooting accident at Crosseliff in Yorkshire, he inevitably failed to achieve his former heights.

Ranji played 15 Test matches for England between 1896 and 1902, scoring 989 runs with a batting average of 44.95. In all first-class cricket, he scored 24,692 runs in 307 matches, with an average of 56.37, including 72 centuries, with a highest score of 285 not out. Ranji was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1897, Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year; in the same year, he published the classic The Jubilee Book of Cricket.

Answer 3

Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji was an Indian who played for the English cricket team

A few Indians played as members of the English cricket team while India was under British rule, including Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji, but India made its debut as a Test-cricket-playing-nation in England in 1932 led by CK Nayudu, well before Indian independence. The team performed well, with Mohammad Nissar taking 5-93 and 1-42 in the matchagainst England. The match was given test status despite being only 3 days in length. England, batting first, scored 259 with Nissar cleaning up the openers and tailenders. However the Indian team failed to capitalize on their bowling performance, all out for 189 with CK Nayudu the top scorer with 40 runs. England went on to score 275 and set India a target of 346, which always seemed out of the visitor's grasp. India were all out for 187 and lost by 158 runs.

The team's first series as an independent country was in 1948 against Australia at Brisbane. Australia were led by Sir Don Bradman while India was led by Lala Amarnath. Australia cruised home, winning the 5 Test series 4-0.

Answer 4

he first Indians to play the game at a high level were the Parsi minority in Bombay. Beginning in 1892, an annual match was played between the Parsis and the Europeans. In 1907, this became a triangular tournament with the Hindus fielding a team, and in 1912 a Muslim team entered what was for twenty years the biggest tournament in India—the Bombay Quadrangular.

Among the biggest stars in the early years of Indian cricket were the four Palwankar brothers, Shivram, Ganpat and Vithal but particularly the slow left-arm bowler, Palwankar Baloo. This was particularly noteworthy as the Palwankars were from one of the untouchable castes. Treated as equals on the cricket field, off-field they often faced discrimination. This changed slowly; however, Palwankar Vithal did eventually captain the Hindu team in the quadrangular.

The formation of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 1929 led to a first Test match with England three years later. In 1935, the Ranji Trophy began; it continues to the present as the leading regional tournament in India, with each state fielding a team. The trophy was a deliberate attempt to avoid the communalism of the quadrangular tournament.
