C.K. Naidu Cup in India is associated with which of the following sporting events at the domestic level?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Cricket

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Many Indian sports tournaments and trophies are named after legendary players and administrators. C.K. Naidu was a pioneering figure in Indian cricket and is remembered as one of the early captains of the national team. The C.K. Naidu Cup is a domestic tournament that honours his contribution. This question checks whether you can correctly link the C.K. Naidu Cup to the right sport among several possibilities.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The trophy or tournament in question is called the C.K. Naidu Cup.
  • The options list different sports: tennis, cricket, hockey, and golf.
  • We assume familiarity with prominent Indian sports personalities and tournaments.
  • C.K. Naidu is a name strongly associated with early Indian cricket history.


Concept / Approach:
The key to answering this question is to recognise who C.K. Naidu was. He is celebrated as one of India's first great cricketers and as an early captain of the Indian national cricket team. Tournaments and trophies named after him are therefore linked to cricket, particularly age group or junior cricket competitions. There is no major tennis, hockey, or golf competition commonly known as the C.K. Naidu Cup, which helps eliminate the other options.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Recall that C.K. Naidu is a legendary Indian cricketer and former captain, not primarily known in tennis, hockey, or golf. 2. Tournaments named after famous cricketers are usually connected with cricket itself. 3. The C.K. Naidu Cup is among the recognised domestic cricket tournaments, often linked with junior or under 19 competition. 4. Since the name is historically associated with cricket, the logical connection is to the cricket option. 5. Hence, we select cricket as the correct sport associated with the C.K. Naidu Cup.


Verification / Alternative check:
If you look at lists of Indian domestic cricket tournaments, you will find references to competitions such as the Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and C.K. Naidu Trophy or Cup, especially in age group formats. On the other hand, top level tennis, hockey, and golf tournaments in India generally have different names and are not linked to C.K. Naidu. This confirms the connection to cricket.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Tennis: There is no widely recognised national tennis competition named after C.K. Naidu. Hockey: Major Indian hockey trophies are associated with other names such as Beighton Cup, not C.K. Naidu. Golf: Indian golf tournaments typically carry other sponsorship or memorial names, not that of C.K. Naidu.


Common Pitfalls:
Some candidates may not know who C.K. Naidu was and may guess randomly. To avoid this, it helps to learn at least a few key figures in Indian sports history and the sports they belong to. Another pitfall is confusing C.K. Naidu with a different personality from another sport. Always link the person to their main sport before selecting the associated tournament.


Final Answer:
The C.K. Naidu Cup is associated with Cricket in India.
