Answer 5

The British brought cricket to India in the early 1700s, with the first cricket match being played in 1721.[4] In 1848, the Parsi community in Mumbai formed the Oritenal Cricket Club, the first cricket club to be established by Indians. After slow beginnings, the Parsis were eventually invited by the Europeans to play a match in 1877.[5] By 1912, the Parsis, Hindus, and Muslims of Bombay played a quadrangular tournament with the Europeans every year.[5] In the early 1900s, some Indians went on to play for the English cricket team. Some of these, such as Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji were greatly appreciated by the British and their names went on to be used for the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy-two of the major domestic tournaments in India. In 1911, an Indian team went on their first official tour of England, but only played English county teams and not the English cricket team.[6] India was invited into the Imperial Cricket Council in 1926 and made its debut as a Test-cricket-playing-nation in England in 1932 led by CK Nayudu.[7] The match was given test status despite being only 3 days in length. The team was not strong in its batting at this point and went on to lose by 158 runs.[8] Indian team continued to improve throughout the 30s and 40s but did not achieve significant victory during this period. The team's first series as an independent country was in 1948 against Sir Donald Bradman's Invincibles (a name given to the Australian cricket team of that time). Australia won the five match series, 4-0.[9]

India recorded their first Test victory against England at Madras in 1952[10] and later in the year won their first Test series (against Pakistan). India were strengthened by the likes of batsmen Polly Umrigar, Vijay Manjrekar and bowler SM Gupte. They continued their good form throughout the early 1950s with a series win against New Zealand in 1956, however they did not win again in the remainder of the 1950s and lost badly to strong Australian and English sides. The next decade developed India's reputation as a team that is considered unbeatable at home.[11] Although they only won two series (both against New Zealand), they managed to draw home series against Pakistan, England and Australia. The decade starred the batting performances of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Dilip Sardesai, Hanumant Singh and Chandu Borde as well as bowling performances from off-spinner EAS Prasanna.


Kapil Dev receiving the Cricket World Cup in 1983Most of the 1970s was dominated by India's bowling spin quartet. This period also saw the emergence of two of India's best ever batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath. Indian pitches have had tendency to support spin and this was exploited by the spin quartet to create collapses in opposing batting lineups. These players were responsible for the back-to-back series wins in 1971 in the West Indies and in England, under the captaincy of Ajit Wadekar.

The advent of One-Day International cricket in 1971 created a new dimension in the cricket world. However, India was not considerably strong in ODIs at this point and batsmen like captain Sunil Gavaskar were known for their defence-based approaches to batting. India could not manage to qualify for the second round in the first two editions of the Cricket World Cup.

During the 1980s, India developed a long list of competent batsmen. Batsmen like Mohammed Azharuddin, Mohinder Amarnath and Dilip Vengsarkar added depth to the Indian lineup. India won the Cricket World Cup in 1983, defeating West Indies in hte final. In 1984, India won the Asia Cup and in 1985, won the World Championship of Cricket in Australia. India's Test series victory in 1986 against England remained the last Test series win by India outside subcontinent for the next 19 years. The 1987 Cricket World Cup was held in India. The 1980s saw star batsman Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev (India's best all rounder to this date) at the pinnacle of their careers. Gavaskar made 34 centuries as he became the first man to reach the 10,000 run mark and Kapil Dev became the highest wicket taker in Test cricket with 434 wickets, a record that has been surpassed since and is now held by Shane Warne.


A graph showing India's test match results against all test match teams from 1932 to September 2006The addition of 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble to the national side in 1989 and 1990 further improved the team. Most of its successes in the 1990s were at home grounds. During the 1990s, India did not win any of its 33 tests outside the subcontinent while it won 17 out of its 30 tests at home. Batsmen Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly and fast bowler Javagal Srinath made their debut in international cricket during this decade. In 1999, Anil Kumble emulated Jim Laker to become the second bowler to take all ten wickets in a Test match innings when he took 10 wickets for 74 runs against Pakistan at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi.

India's performance in the remaining World Cups has been considerably consistent. In the 1987 Cricket World Cup, the team advanced to the semi-finals as favourites, they did the same in 1996, both times they suffered defeats in the semi-finals. India was weaker in the 1999 Cricket World Cup, and did not make it past the Super Six round. In the 2003 Cup, India lost only two games (both against reigning champions Australia) and advancing to the finals, where they were defeated by Australia.

India's traditional strengths have always been its line-up of spin bowlers and batsmen. Currently, it has a very strong batting lineup with Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag all being selected to play for the ICC World XI in the 2005 "SuperTest" against Australia. However in recent years, Indian pace bowling has improved, with the emerging talents of Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel and Sreesanth and many more playing in the national team.
