The Indian cricket team is an
international cricket team representing
India. It is governed by the Board of
Control for Cricket in India, the
cricket governing body in India. The
Indian Cricket Team is currently the
highest paid national sports team in the
world (in terms of sponsorship)
Though the first match in India was
recorded in 1721, when a group of
sailors gathered to play in Western
India, India's national cricket team
didn't play their first Test match until
25 June 1932 at Lord's. They became the
sixth team to play Test cricket.
Traditionally much stronger at home than
abroad, India proved weaker than
Australia and England, winning only 35
of the 196 matches they played in their
first fifty years.The team gained
strength near the end of the 50-year
period with the emergence of players
such as Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev and
the Indian spin quartet. The Indian team
has continued to be highly ranked since
then in Test cricket and One Day
Internationals. The team won the Cricket
World Cup in 1983 and was runners-up in
2003. It also won the first World
Twenty20 in 2007. The current team
contains many of the world's leading
players, including Sachin Tendulkar,
Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Anil
Kumble, who hold numerous cricketing
world records. |
