‘If Anish had scored hundred runs in today’s match, he would have been made the captain of his team. He would have then become the youngest captain in his team’s history. Unfortunately, he got out without scoring any runs. Hence, there won’t be any change in the captaincy for now.’ Based on the paragraph above, which one of the following statements is true?

The correct option is: "The current captain is older than Anish."

Let us break down the logical reasoning step-by-step to understand why this statement is true:
1. Analyze the hypothetical scenario: The paragraph states that if Anish had scored 100 runs, he would have been made the captain. It further states that under this condition, he "would have then become the youngest captain in his team's history."
2. Compare Anish with the history of captains: Since becoming captain would make Anish the youngest captain in the team's history, Anish must be younger than any captain the team has ever had, including the current captain.
3. Analyze the actual outcome: The paragraph states that Anish did not score 100 runs (he got out for 0), and therefore, "there won't be any change in the captaincy for now." This means the current captain remains in office.
4. Logical deduction: Since Anish is younger than any captain in the team's history (as established in step 2), he must be younger than the current captain. Conversely, this means the current captain is older than Anish.

Let us also look at why the other options are incorrect based on the text:
- "Anish made hundred runs but was denied captaincy": False, because the text explicitly says he got out without scoring any runs.
- "Anish was the captain of his team before the game today.": False, since the text indicates there is no change in captaincy because he failed to become the captain.
- "Anish is the youngest player in his team.": Incorrect, because the text only says he would be the youngest captain, not necessarily the youngest player.
