C. D. Gopinath, one of Indian cricket’s most respected figures and the last surviving member of the team that secured India’s first-ever Test victory, passed away at 96 in Chennai. He captained Madras, served as a national selector, chaired the selection committee, and managed the Indian team during the 1979 England tour.
Rohit Sharma (131) and Ravindra Jadeja (112) struck fine hundreds while debutant Sarfaraz Khan made a promising start to his Test career with an impressive 62 off 66 balls.
