Nawab - chairman - 03-24-2022
At the age of 21 a man really should be worrying about more exotic things than whether his new-ball bowler needs a third man, but on this day in 1962, the Nawab of Pataudi Jr took the field as the youngest captain in Test history, a record that stood until Tatenda Taibu first led Zimbabwe. He was only 21 years and 77 days old when he led India out against West Indies in Bridgetown. He top-scored in the first innings of the game which West Indies won by an innings. He took charge in place of the injured Nari Contractor, who fractured his skull in a tour match against Barbados and never played Test cricket again.
