News paper cutting from 04th March, 1935 Image Courtesy: Indian Express Archives	Laxmidas Purshottamdas Jai (LP Jai)-Captain (1 April 1902 – 29 January 1968) was a prominent figure in Indian cricket during the interwar period. Born into a Gujarati family in Bombay, Jai was known for his elegant right-handed stroke play. Many of his finest innings were played in the Bombay Quadrangular competition. He also led Bombay to victory in the inaugural Ranji Trophy championship as captain. Contractor and VM Merchant are also well heard names to me, you can search and understand about other players, I am sure you will understand their capabilities.
