#7 Deepak Shodhan (India)

Born in 1927 in Baroda, Deepak Shodhan had a memorable Test match where he scored 110 to help India reach 397 all out from a precarious 179 for 6. He also became the first ever Indian batsman to score a ton in his very first innings in Test cricket.  

He was troubled by injuries during his career and played only 3 Tests for India. He had an average domestic career for Baroda, scoring 1802 runs with a best of 261.

He is currently India’s oldest living cricketer after Madhav Mantri  passed away in May 2014.
