Nayudu was drafted in the school team at the age of seven, and showed promise for a bright future. He made his [[first-class cricket|first class]] debut in 1916 in the [[Bombay Triangular]]. For the Hindus against the Europeans, he came in to bat at No.9 with his team tottering at 79 for 7.He made his last appearance in the [[Ranji Trophy]] in 1956–57, aged 62, scoring 52 in his last innings for [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Earlier in the season he had made 84 against [[Rajasthan]], striking [[Vinoo Mankad]] for two sixes. That innings of 84 made Nayudu a record-breaker as the oldest player to score his age or more in a first class cricket match. His final outing was in a charity match in 1963–64, when he played for the [[Maharashtra]] Governor's XI against the Maharashtra Chief Minister's XI.<ref>{{cite web|last=Williamson|first=Martin|title=Ripe old age|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/columns/content/story/304620.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN|date=2 August 2007 }}</ref>
