Abbas Ali Baig 
pronunciation (born 19 March 1939) is an Indian former cricketer who played in 10 Tests between 1959 and 1967. In a career spanning 21 years, he scored 12,367 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 34.16. He coached Indian cricket team in Tour to Australia in 1991-92 and 1992 Cricket World Cup.
Born in Hyderabad, British India, Baig made his first-class during the 1954–55 Ranji Trophy, against Andhra Pradesh. In his next match against Mysore, he scored 105 and 43 not out. At the end of the tournament, he ended up as his team's second-highest run scorer, scoring 187 runs at an average of 62.33.
In the late 1950s, Baig moved to England and joined the Oxford University. In 1959, he played 15 first-class matches for the university team. During this time, he scored 221 not out and 87 against Free Foresters and broke Derrick De Saram’s aggregate of 283 runs—208 and 75—to become the highest run scorer for the team in a first-class match. It was during this time India toured England. In the fourth match of the series, Baig was "summoned" to play for India, replacing the injured Vijay Manjrekar. Aged 20 years and 131 days, Baig became the youngest Indian cricketer to score a century on debut when he made 112 in India's second innings. It was also the first century by an Indian debutant outside India. Despite another century from Polly Umrigar, India lost the match. However, Baig retained his place in the team for the final match of the series.
