Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) The current captain is older than Anish.

Explanation

Making Anish captain would have made him younger than every captain in the team’s history, including the current captain. Therefore the current captain is older: **C**. The paragraph says he scored zero, does not make him the previous captain, and compares captains rather than all players.
