Nanik Amarnath Bharadwaj (commonly known as Lala Amarnath) was an Indian Test cricketer. He was the first cricketer to score a Test century for the Indian cricket team, which he achieved on debut. He played his debut match against England in 1933 on the Bombay Gymkhana grounds in South Bombay. He was also independent India’s first Test captain, leading the team on a tour of Australia in 1947-1948. His century on debut, the first one for the country in official Tests, against England at the Bombay Gymkhana in 1933 is identified as one of the best innings played in the annals of Indian cricket. There was a lyrical excellence to his batting, which evoked a comparison, by a commentator, to the immortal poet, Lord Byron: “pure romantic, the Byron of Indian cricket.”
