Answer 4

The first captain of India in test Cricket was late Mr. C.K. Nayudu. He captained Indian Team in 4 Test Matches during the years 1932 to 1934. 3 Tests were lost and 1 was drawn.

The first Captain of India's one day team was Mr. Ajit Wadekar. He captained India in 2 One Day Internationals during 1974. Both the matches were lost by India.

There were 29 Captains in Test Matches and 19 Captains in One Day Matches for Indian Team till now. Instead of listing their names here, I suggest you to visit the following website:
