C S Nayudu passes away
C S Nayudu, former India cricketer and younger brother of the legendary C K Nayudu, died in Indore
on Friday following a protracted illness, family sources said.
He was 88.
Nayudu, who was suffering from respiratory and heart
problem for quite some time, was undergoing treatment at a
private hospital.
Born on April 14, 1914, Nayudu played 11 Test matches
for India and was one of the important pillars of the erstwhile
Holkar team.
Nayudu, who made his Test debut at the age of 19, could
not justify his talent at the highest level of the game
though, managing to score just 147 runs from 19 innings. He
also took two Test wickets for 359 runs.
He played 56 Ranji Trophy matches and scored 2575 runs at
an average of 30.29. He also captured 295 wickets, giving away
6925 runs at 23.47 apiece.
Besides playing for Holkars, he represented Central
India, Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya
Pradesh in Ranji Trophy.
The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and other
cricket bodies condoled his death.
