Colonel Cottari Kanakayya Nayudu represented as era in Indian cricket. It was a delight to watch C. K. at the wicket. In his footwork he had the elegance of an artiste and in his judgment the precision of a scientist. His hurricane hitting across the fence thrilled the spectators and unnerved the opponents. With his death an epoch in Indian cricket came to an end.

Cricketers of the year

COTTARI KANKAIYA NAYUDU, easily the outstanding batsman of the All India team who toured England last season, was born at Nagpur, on October 31, 1895.

As quite a small boy he played cricket for the Hislop Collegiate High School, Nagpur, and in course of time captained the School and College at cricket. He did not confine his activities, however, entirely to this game, for he was very useful at athletics generally and achieved distinction at Hockey and Association Football. While still at the High School, he assisted the Modi Cricket Club and became captain of it. During these early days he received useful coaching from R. Rajanna, who played against the Oxford University Authentics team in India.

From 1916 onwards he played in the Quadrangular matches in Bombay; represented the Central Provinces in 1919 and Madras in 1920.
