History of cricket in India:
British seamen brought cricket to the Indian subcontinent in the 18th century, and the first cricket club was founded in 1792. India's men's national cricket team took on England in a Lord's Test on June 25, 1932, and won to become the sixth team to receive Test cricket status. For nearly twenty years, India had to wait until 1952 before it won a Test match. With only 35 victories in 196 Test matches in its first fifty years of international cricket, it had little success.However, the squad grew stronger in the 1970s as players like Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, and the Indian spin quartet came to prominence.
India made its ODI and T20I debuts in men's limited-overs cricket in 1974 and 2006, respectively. The team has finished as runners-up in the World Cup once (2003), the T20 World Cup once (2014), and the Champions Trophy twice (2000 and 2017). The team has won five major ICC tournaments, including the Cricket World Cup twice (1983 and 2011), the ICC T20 World Cup once (2007), and the ICC Champions Trophy twice (2002 and 2013). The team participated in the first two ICC World Test Championship finals (2019–21, 202–23). After winning the 2011 Cricket World Cup, they became the second team after the West Indies to win the World Cup and the first team to do so on home soil.
