Indian Cricket Team

Cricket is considered to be a religion in India. There are no sure theories about the origin of Cricket in India but as British ruled on India for over 200 years,the game can be called a stheir legacy. India started playing Cricket way back in 1721 unofficially but was granted the official test status in 1932. They played their first test cricket match from 25th June to 28th June in the year 1932 against England at Lords’ in London. India was lead by CK Nayudu at that time.  India was sixth team then to play the test cricket. India was considered a weak team in the Cricketing Circuit for long time and people used to have match for practice. But Indian team changed from 1950s and is a major force to reckon with today.

India went on to win their first test match in 1952 against England at Madras (now Chennai). The first series victory for Indian team came in the very same year against the arch rivals, Pakistan. In the next decade India gained the reputation of being a strong team at home. Though they won only two series during this period and both against New Zealand they drew the series against Pakistan, England and Australia.

India became a much more successful team in the year of 1970s and they recorded their first ever series victory in this decade. The bowling attack in this era was spearheaded by Bishen Singh Bedi, E.A.S. Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan. It was during this decade that India produced two of India’s best ever batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath.

In the mid 70s the Cricket made transformation from test cricket to one day cricket. India was not good at one day format in the starting. The team turned the table around in the year 1983 after winning the World Cup in England that year beating the mighty West Indies team in the finals. Since then India’s story in the world Cricket has been of highs and lows. The team has battled several odds to be one of the top teams in the world. The

team saw the black period when there was a match fixing scandal which projected the ugly face of Indian team including other teams. After that Indian team made a brave beginning and has scaled new heights since then. Today Indian Cricket Team under Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) is the most professional set up in the sports. Today BCCI is the richest sporting body in the world.

The money that BCCI generates has ensured better facilities at grass root level and at the same time better payment for players.  BCCI negotiates sponsorships for the team and its future tours and the selection of its players through selection committee. Indian Cricket boasts best infrastructure today compared to all other sports.

The major test playing venues in the country are Test cricket grounds are:

  • Barabati Stadium in Cuttack
  • Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai
  • Brabourne stadium in Mumbai
  • Eden Gardens in Kolkata
  • Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi

  • LB Shastri stadium in Hyderabad
  • M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore
  • PCA stadium in Mohali
  • Sardar Patel stadium in Ahmadabad
  • Sawai Man singh stadium in Jaipur
  • Vidarbha CA stadium in Nagpur

Till date i.e. January 2008, India has played 414 Cricket Test Matches and India has won 93 while lost 133. The remaining matches were drawn. Today India is ranked second in Test Rating done by International Cricket Council.

  21. shanker says:

    hi every one.. today iam really up set with the performance of indian team shame to dhoni ……………i seriously request the indian selectors to select correct team member ……my sugestion is to get back md.kaif just we need fildind should be good dont get koly,karthik,ojah,nehra,r.jedeja,these guys no need to indian team ,,these players always fear about fast bowlers and they do not play the fast bowls so y yy yy ………my sugestion that

    praveen kumar ——–he should be patent in batting and bowling is v. good
    sehwag—he is daring batsmen who just have to bat long innings
    gambir——-he is kind of player who will not give a chance to bowler to set
    sachin——-he is legend ,,india needs more from u
    laxman———-he just bat like no one will he is one who can bat and make runs fast
    yuvraj————he is good in fielding and bating is asset he just hit the ball hard that no one will
    kaif————he is brillint in fielding and bating in the middle and make the ways to win
    yousf patan—————he spins the ball and smash the bowl hard can change match any time
    raina———–he is good at fielding and bating tremendously
    rohit sharma———-he is night watchmen to team he bat without any fear
    harbajan singh————-he is alrounder he can bat and bowl
    zaheer khan—————–he can bat and bowls brillintly
    rp singh—————–he bowls according to fielders
    ishanth sharma———-he can stay in gress and bowl
    mithun———-he can bat with no fear and bowl like expert

    indian team need only bating and fielding bowling is not a crusial field hard to stop the ball because no batsmen will not get six for every ball

  22. Ravikumar says:

    Shame on Indain Team becuase of there worst game ever in the history aginst NewZeland & Srilanka
