I scored India's first ever Test century, in Mumbai against England in 1933. It was India's first home Test.

It was my only Test hundred.
I was in the India side for our first Test win, against England in Chennai 19 years later in 1952. Later the same year I was skipper for our second win, against Pakistan n Delhi. I retired at the end of that series. I took 45 wickets at 32.9, and averaged 24.4 with the bat.

Mankad was an all-rounder, but I thought he retired as top indianwixket taker, surely he took more than that.
Otherwise that's me out
