Gud question

Who Am I ?

I was a seargant-major for the British and was sent to British India, where I turned out for a now defunct Indian state/franchise. During my stint in India, I played and won for my side,one of their domestic tournaments.

My innings in the final have put me in the grand company of greats like-Vijay Hazare, Vijay Merchant,Sunil Gavaskar. As a British, I believe I am the only foreignor to hold this peculiar distinction.

Identify -Who Am I ? My defunct team and the peculiar distinction as well.

Denis Compton?

 

[icyman]

The answer is indeed Denis Compton, who turned out for the Holkars. He scored 249 in the final of the Ranji Trophy,which till date remains the only double century by a foreigner. The peculiar distinction is - this remains the only double in a Ranji final till date[ 2nd innings]
