Quiz! How well do you know the overseas players in Indian domestic cricket?

The IPL is not the first arena that enables Indian cricketers to play for the same team as their overseas counterparts. In 1897/98, Rajinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala, led his personal team against the Calcutta Rangers. The Patiala team had four English cricketers – just like IPL XIs have four overseas players – Ranjitsinhji (who played for England but not India), JT Hearne, Bill Brockwell, and H Priestly.
