Explanation

Ajit Wadekar was India's first ODI captain. He led India in their first ever ODI matches against England in 1974, shortly after ODIs were introduced. India played their first two ODI matches on July 31- August 1, 1974 at Headingley, Leeds, under Wadekar's captaincy. Srinivas Venkataraghavan, MAK Pataudi, and Gundappa Viswanath were all great cricketers but were not India's first ODI captains.
