On February 3, 1962, Nari Contractor, the captain of the Indian team touring the West Indies, suffered a career-ending injury from a bouncer bowled by West Indian fast bowler Charlie Griffith. X was the first player from either side to donate blood to the injured Contractor, which saved his life. In remembrance of this act the Cricket Association of Bengal organizes a blood donation every year on this day, and the day is commemorated as X Day in West Bengal. X is also a cricketing legend. Who is X?
