Lala Amarnath & the "conspiracy" that surrounded the maestro

Nanik Amarnath Bharadwaj popularly known as Lala Amarnath wasn’t just an ordinary cricketer. But he was someone who defined the way of playing the sports in his own terms. A ferocious wicket-keeper batsman, Lala had another ability of medium-pace bowling to serve his team and nation.
Lala Amarnath served Indian cricket team from the year 1933 and continued it till 1952.
He made his debut against England count as he went on to become India’s first batsman to score a Test century and that too in a debut. Though, he scored just one ton in his Test career along with four fifties to his name.
Amarnath was a handy bowler who had a total tally of 45 international dismissals. He had a couple of five-for in his career as well.
But the First-class span for this “giant” player was really a special one. He scored massively during 1929/30-1963/64 where he went to make more than 10000 runs along with thirty one hundreds. He had a best individual score of 264 runs to his name. Alongside this phenomenal willow holding ability, Lala was a “nightmare” for many. 463 wickets along with 3 ten-for and 19 five-for, this was something really out of the box for any player. He played Gujarat, Hindus, Maharaja of Patiala's XI, Railways, Southern Punjab, Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket.    He was also independent India's first Test captain, leading the team on a tour of Australia in 1947-1948. The Government of India awarded him the civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan in 1991.Amarnath was controversially sent back from the 1936 tour of England by the captain, the Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, for "indiscipline". Vizzy, the
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, was the captain for Indian cricket team for the 1936 tour of England, a post that he secured after lobbying and manipulation.
Lala Amarnath had been nursing a back injury during the game. Vizzy had Amarnath pad up, but didn't put him in to bat as a succession of other batsmen were sent in ahead of him, which prevented Amarnath from resting his injury. Amarnath was finally put in to bat at the end of the day. Visibly angry after returning to the dressing room, he threw his kit into his bag and muttered in Punjabi, "I know what is transpiring".
Vizzy took this as an insult, and reported this incident with team manager Major Jack Brittain-Jones to have Lala Amarnath sent back from the tour without playing the first test match.
