Captaining the Indian cricket team is like leading a battle for the country. This episode tracks the warriors who led the team in a journey from being everyone’s whipping boys to becoming World Champions. We trace the footsteps of the first Test captain Col. C.K. Nayudu and how a common man in the pre independence era became the first captain. As we move forward Nawab of Pataudi Jr. changes the mindset of the players while Ajit Wadekar achieves historic overseas results for India. The episode traces how under the leadership of Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar India started to win One Day International tournaments including the 1983 World Cup. While Saurav Ganguly’s captaincy started a new era for India which culminated with MS Dhoni lifting the World Cup on Indian soil after a gap of 28 years.
