Just 6 months after quitting a Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), cricket historian Ramchandra Guha compared a difference between former India manager Anil Kumble and skipper Virat Kohli to what happened between earlier all-rounder Vinoo Mankad and arch selector CK Naydu in 1952. Guha was vocalization during an eventuality to applaud a 84th anniversary of a initial Test on Indian dirt between a Col CK Nayudu-led Indian group and Douglas Jardine-captained England side hold from Dec 15 to 18, 1933 during Bombay Gymkhana.

“There is a story about a large brawl between Col Nayudu and Mankad. CK was a authority of selectors and Mankad was India’s good cricketer. India were furloughed England in 1952 and Mankad had got a agreement with Lancashire League. Mankad told a house (BCCI) that if they assure him that he will be on a England debate with a Indian team, he will not pointer a contract. CK replied, ‘We can’t give we any assurance’. India mislaid a initial Test and Mankad played during Lord’s,” Guha removed after releasing a book — A Colonel Destined to Lead, created by Aditya Bhushan yesterday.

Interestingly, Mankad did not figure in a initial Test conflicting England that India mislaid during Leeds by 7 wickets. However, he done a conspicuous quip to a side scoring 72 in a initial innings and 184 in a second essay. He had bagged a five-wicket transport during Lord’s in a second Test that India mislaid by 8 wickets. Guha combined how Kohli has a payoff to suffer his leadership. “The attribute between Nayudu and Vinoo Mankad in 1951-52 was same to Kumble and Kohli. In 1952, a administrators, selectors and managers had a top palm over a players, abhi ulta hai (now it is opposite),” he said.
