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 answer is: The current captain is older than Anish.

Let us analyze the statements given in the paragraph step-by-step to understand why this option is logically true:
1. The passage states: "If Anish had scored hundred runs... he would have been made the captain of his team." This tells us that Anish is not currently the captain.
2. It further states: "He would have then become the youngest captain in his team's history." This means that if Anish were to become the captain today, his age would be less than the age of any previous captain in the team's history, including the current captain.
3. Since the current captain is one of the captains in the team's history, and Anish would have been younger than any captain in history, it logically follows that the current captain must be older than Anish.
4. Finally, the passage mentions: "Unfortunately, he got out without scoring any runs. Hence, there won't be any change in the captaincy for now." This confirms that the current captain remains in their position.

Let us also evaluate why the other options are incorrect:
- Anish made hundred runs but was denied captaincy: Incorrect, because the passage explicitly states he got out without scoring any runs.
- Anish was the captain of his team before the game today: Incorrect, because the text implies a change in captaincy would only happen if he scored a hundred, meaning he was not already the captain.
- Anish is the youngest player in his team: Incorrect, because the passage only discusses him potentially becoming the youngest captain, not the youngest player. There could be other players on the team who are younger than Anish but are not captains.
