I noticed that Sairaj Bahutule is captain of Vidarbha at the age of 39. Who was the oldest player in the Ranji Trophy?
Sairaj Bahutule, who played two Tests for India in 2001, is still playing (and captaining) Vidarbha at 39 - and 41-year-old Sunil Joshi, another fringe Test player, turned out for Karnataka last year. But they both have rather a long way to go to break the Ranji Trophy record, which is held by the great CK Nayudu - he played his last Ranji match in 1956-57, when he was 61! Nayudu captained Uttar Pradesh in that year's quarter-finalagainst eventual champions Bombay in Benares, and scored 52 in the second innings.
