The Indian cricket team is the national team in cricket that India represents at international level. She is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and is therefore entitled to carry out tests against other full members. The team is led by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
history
Beginnings
The first game of cricket played in India was dated in 1721. These were seamen from the British East India Company . The first known club is the Calcutta Cricket Club, which has existed since at least 1792. An Indian team's first tour to Europe took place in 1886, and two years later the first English team toured India.
Before India's independence
Before India's independence, some players of Indian descent competed in international cricket for the colonial power England. In 1911 there was the first time an Indian national team that toured England but did not play against England's national cricket team . As a result, India was officially accepted into the then Imperial Cricket Conference in 1926 and the Indian Cricket Board of Control was founded as an association in the following year . The first test was held in England in 1932 and lost with 158 runs. Until the outbreak of the Second World War, no win and only two draws could be achieved in seven games against England.
After India's independence
After the independence and division of India, the first games against the other test nations, such as Australia and the West Indies, took place. The first victory could not be celebrated against England until 1952 in Madras . The first test series victory came in the same year as the first series against Pakistan . In the course of the 1950s and 1960s, the team developed steadily and culminated in a first away win against New Zealand in 1968.
The rise of limited-overs cricket
At the beginning of the 1970s, one-day cricket was introduced, which, however, initially brought little success to India. So they were eliminated in the first two editions of the Cricket World Cup in 1975 and 1979 in the preliminary round. During that time, the team was stronger in test cricket, where they could keep up with the big teams of England and Australia. At the Cricket World Cup 1983 this changed when India managed to defeat the West Indies in the final and so the team recorded the first world title. In front of a home crowd four years later at the World Cup in 1987 , they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
1990s to the turn of the millennium
In the 1990s, the team's performance in test cricket was poor. There was no away win in this decade and only just over half of the home games could be won. Even with one-day cricket, the success could not be repeated. At the 1992 World Cup , seventh in the preliminary round, they were eliminated before the semi-finals and in 1996 on home soil against Sri Lanka in the semi-finals. The latter game was abandoned and scored for the opponent when there was a crowd riot in the Eden Gardens of Calcutta after poor performance by the Indians. Even at the end of the decade, things didn't get any better when they were eliminated in the semifinals of the newly founded Champions Trophy in 1998 and the last eliminated at the 1999 World Cup after acceptable results in the group phase in the Super Six round.
Millennium change until today
In 2000, John Wright, a foreign coach, was hired for the first time and the performance improved again. A highlight, for example, was the win after a follow-on in the Eden Gardens of Calcutta against Australia in 2001, which was only the third win after a follow-on in a test. After the first innings India was behind with 274, but was able to win with 171 runs. At the Champions Trophy 2002 India shared the title with Sri Lanka when the finals could not be held twice due to rain. At the World Cup 2003 they failed only in the final against the then dominant Australians. At the next event in 2007 , the team was traded as a possible title candidate, but failed in the preliminary round to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh . In the same year, however, the victory in the first edition of the Twenty20 cricket world championship was achieved . From 2009 India was the world's best team in test cricket, whose title they had to cede to England from 2011. At the 2011 World Cup, which was also held in India, the team managed to win the final with 6 wickets against Sri Lanka, which secured the second ODI cricket world championship title. At World Twenty 20 2012 they were eliminated in the Super 8 round due to a poor net run rate compared to Australia and Pakistan. This was accompanied by a decline in test cricket and a focus on the shorter versions of the game. In 2013 the Champions Trophy was won . At World Twenty 20 2014 the team was able to advance to the final and only lost there against Sri Lanka with 6 wickets. The 2015 Cricket World Cup was initially successful when the team advanced to the semi-finals without defeat. There, however, they lost to hosts Australia with 95 runs. At the Champions Trophy 2017 they made it to the final again, but lost to Pakistan with 181 runs, which they had clearly beaten in the preliminary round. At the Cricket World Cup 2019 they qualified as the best team in the preliminary round for the semi-finals, but failed there because of New Zealand.
