>>>> Cricket is not a Religion but #Sachinism is <<<<<

In 1999, Sachin Tendulkar (26 years) was the captain of Indian Cricket Team & at that time, Nayan Mongia (3 years older than Sachin) was keeping wickets. If the ages of both Sachin & Mongia are excluded from the 11 member team, the average age of the remaining players would become 1 year less than the average of whole team.
Can you answer the average age of the team ???

  Solution : 

   23 years. 
>> 26 + 29 = 55 (Sum of ages of Sachin & Mongia) 
>> 55 - 11 (Difference of 1 year) = 44 
>> 44/2 = 22 (since 2 players are removed, their avg age) (Avg age of team before 1 year) 
>> 22 + 1 = 23 (Average age of whole team)
