Lala Amarnath - 1936 All-India Tour of England
Cricket - 1936 All-India Tour of England
Nanik Amarnath Bhardwaj, commonly known as Lala Amarnath.
The star all-rounder of the side, he was controversially sent home from the 1936 tour by divisive captain Maharajkumar of Vizianagram (aka Vizzy ). Nominally this was for disciplinary reasons, but many believed it was politically motivated, and the post-tour enquiry would exonerate Armarnath of any blame.
He was the first player to score a test century for India, on his debut in 1933, and he was also independent Indias first Test captain, leading the team on a tour of Australia in 1947-1948

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Lala Amarnath during the 1936 All-India Tour of England. Nanik Amarnath Bhardwaj, fondly known as Lala Amarnath, was a star all-rounder who left an indelible mark on Indian cricket history. However, this tour was not without controversy. The divisive captain Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, also known as Vizzy, controversially sent Lala Amarnath home from the tour for disciplinary reasons. Yet many believed that there were political motives behind this decision. Fortunately, the post-tour enquiry would later exonerate Amarnath from any wrongdoing. Lala Amarnath's achievements in cricket are remarkable. He holds the distinction of being India's first player to score a test century on his debut in 1933. Additionally, he became independent India's first Test captain when he led the team on a historic tour of Australia in 1947-1948. In this stunning image captured by Colorsport / Wilkes, we see Lala Amarnath at his prime - confident and determined. His presence is a testament to his immense talent and contribution to Indian cricket. This print serves as a timeless reminder of one of India's greatest cricketers and his enduring legacy in shaping the sport within the nation.
