"It was February 1953 when Col CK Nayudu, the first captain of the Indian team, became the founder president of ACA," local cricketologist Prof Prasanna Kumar told TOI. "He was 58-years-old when he led Andhra in their first Ranji match against Mysuru and coming to bat in the middle, smote a huge six off pacer Kasturirangan," Prof Kumar reminisced."Col Nayudu and his brother CS Nayudu played in Guntur and taught the boys discipline, from how to don the flannels to doing their laces; they instilled the quintessence of cricket in Andhra boys," he added.
