The '''India men's national cricket team''' represents [[India]] in men's [[international cricket]]. It is governed by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI), and is a [[List of International Cricket Council members#Full Members|Full Member]] of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) with [[Test cricket|Test]], [[One Day International]] (ODI) and [[Twenty20 International]] (T20I) status.

Cricket was introduced to the [[Indian subcontinent]] by [[British people|British]] sailors in the 18th century,<ref>{{Cite web |title=The History of Cricket In India |url=https://stevewaugh.com.au/pages/the-history-of-cricket-in-india |access-date=2023-09-12 |website=The Spirit of Cricket}}</ref> and the [[Calcutta Cricket and Football Club|first cricket club]] was established in 1792. India's men's national cricket team played its first international match on 25 June 1932 in a [[Lord's]] [[Test cricket|Test]] against [[England cricket team|England]] becoming the sixth team to be granted Test cricket status. India had to wait until 1952, almost twenty years, for its first Test victory. In its first fifty years of international cricket, success was limited, with only 35 wins in 196 Tests.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket/top-10-teams-with-most-wins-in-test-cricket/6/|title=Top 10 Teams With Most Wins In Test Cricket|date=30 August 2019 |access-date=10 February 2023|archive-date=10 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230310125158/https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket/top-10-teams-with-most-wins-in-test-cricket/6/|url-status=live}}</ref> The team, however, gained strength in the 1970s with the emergence of the [[Indian spin quartet]], and players like [[Sunil Gavaskar]], [[Gundappa Viswanath]], and [[Kapil Dev]].

In men's [[Limited overs cricket|limited-overs cricket]], India made its [[One Day International|ODI]] debut against England in 1974 and [[Twenty20 International|T20I]] debut against South Africa in 2006.

The team has won five major [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] tournaments, winning the [[Cricket World Cup]] twice ([[1983 Cricket World Cup|1983]] and [[2011 Cricket World Cup|2011]]), the [[ICC T20 World Cup]] once ([[2007 ICC World Twenty20|2007]]) and the [[ICC Champions Trophy]] twice ([[2002 ICC Champions Trophy|2002]] and [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy|2013]]) and have also finished as runners-up in the World Cup once ([[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003]]), the T20 World Cup once ([[2014 ICC World Twenty20|2014]]), and the Champions Trophy twice ([[2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy|2000]] and [[2017 ICC Champions Trophy|2017]]). The team were also part of [[ICC World Test Championship]] finals in the first two editions ([[2021 ICC World Test Championship final|2021]], [[2023 ICC World Test Championship final|2023]]). It was the second team after the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] to win the World Cup and the first team to win the World Cup on home soil after winning the [[2011 Cricket World Cup]].

They have also won the [[Asia Cup]] eight times, in [[1984 Asia Cup|1984]], [[1988 Asia Cup|1988]], [[1990–91 Asia Cup|1990–91]], [[1995 Asia Cup|1995]], [[2010 Asia Cup|2010]], [[2016 Asia Cup|2016]], [[2018 Asia Cup|2018]], [[2023 Asia Cup|2023]], while finishing runners-up thrice ([[1997 Asia Cup|1997]], [[2004 Asia Cup|2004]], [[2008 Asia Cup|2008]]).

India also won a Gold Medal in [[Cricket at the 2022 Asian Games|2022 Asian Games]].

Along with the team also won the [[World Championship of Cricket|1985 World Championship of Cricket]], defeating [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in the final. Other achievements include winning the [[ICC Men's Test Team Rankings|ICC Test Championship]] Mace five times and the [[ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings|ICC ODI Championship]] Shield once.

As of October 2023, the team is ranked first (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) in the ICC rankings.<ref name="ICC rankings - ICC Test, ODI and Twenty20 rankings">{{cite web |title=ICC Men's Cricket Rankings Overview |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/mens/overview |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230620130254/https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/mens/overview |archive-date=20 June 2023 |access-date=20 June 2023 |work=[[ICC Cricket]]}}</ref> With such success, it is one of the most successful teams in international cricket.

Some of these, such as [[Ranjitsinhji]] and [[Duleepsinhji]] were greatly appreciated by the British and their names went on to be used for the [[Ranji Trophy]] and [[Duleep Trophy]] – two major first-class tournaments in India. In 1911, an Indian men's cricket team, captained by [[Bhupinder Singh of Patiala]], went on their [[Indian cricket team in England in 1911|first official tour of the British Isles]], but only played English county teams and not the England cricket team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/0/India_in_British_Isles_1911.html|title=India in British Isles, 1911|work=Cricket Archive|access-date=21 September 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121109185255/http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/0/India_in_British_Isles_1911.html|archive-date=9 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Alderman|first=Elgan|title=Hundreds and heatwaves: the story of the 1911 All India tour to England that helped shape the country's identity|newspaper=[[The Times]]|language=en|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hundreds-and-heatwaves-the-story-of-the-1911-all-india-tour-to-england-that-helped-shape-the-countrys-identity-znfmhlwbp|access-date=29 November 2021|issn=0140-0460|archive-date=29 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129022632/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hundreds-and-heatwaves-the-story-of-the-1911-all-india-tour-to-england-that-helped-shape-the-countrys-identity-znfmhlwbp|url-status=live}}</ref>

The advent of men's [[One Day International]] (ODI) cricket in 1971 created a new dimension in the cricket world. However, India was not considered strong in ODIs at this point and batsmen such as the captain Gavaskar were known for their defensive approach to batting. India began as a weak team in ODIs and did not qualify for the second round in the first two editions of the Cricket World Cup.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/team-india-on-the-brink-of-odi-record-at-vizag-remain-torchbearers-of-50-over-format/story-B1DIaBOhWX4DP2chPHzk6M.html|title=Team India on the brink of ODI record at Vizag, remain torchbearers of 50-over format|access-date=24 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181024113206/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/team-india-on-the-brink-of-odi-record-at-vizag-remain-torchbearers-of-50-over-format/story-B1DIaBOhWX4DP2chPHzk6M.html|archive-date=24 October 2018|url-status=live|date=23 October 2018}}</ref> Gavaskar infamously blocked his way to 36 not out off 174 balls against England in the first World Cup in 1975; India scored just 132 for 3 and lost by 202 runs.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sunny's World Cup go-slow|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sunil-gavaskar-s-indian-world-cup-go-slow-500411|access-date=6 January 2022|website=ESPNcricinfo|archive-date=6 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106022910/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sunil-gavaskar-s-indian-world-cup-go-slow-500411|url-status=live}}</ref>

In contrast, India fielded a strong team in Test matches and was particularly strong at home, where their combination of stylish batsmen and beguiling spinners were at their best. India set a then Test record in the third Test against the West Indies at Port-of-Spain in 1976, when they chased 403 to win, thanks to 112 from Viswanath.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/when-india-successfully-chased-a-400-plus-target-against-the-west-indies-to-change-world-cricket-forever-25127|title=When India successfully chased a 400-plus target against West Indies to change world cricket forever|date=12 April 2013 |access-date=16 April 2023|archive-date=16 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416091541/https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/when-india-successfully-chased-a-400-plus-target-against-the-west-indies-to-change-world-cricket-forever-25127|url-status=live}}</ref> In November 1976, the team established another record by scoring 524 for 9 declared against New Zealand at Kanpur without any individual batsman scoring a century.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/most-run-outs-and-the-lowest-score-never-made-139825|title=Most run-outs, and the lowest score never made|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=14 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114170548/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/most-run-outs-and-the-lowest-score-never-made-139825|url-status=live}}</ref> There were six fifties, the highest being 70 by [[Mohinder Amarnath]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/highest-test-totals-without-a-century-and-half-century|title=Highest Test totals without a century and half-century|date=30 June 2015 |access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=14 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114170549/https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/highest-test-totals-without-a-century-and-half-century|url-status=live}}</ref> This innings was only the eighth instance in Test cricket where all eleven batsmen reached double figures.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Records {{!}} Test matches {{!}} Team records {{!}} Most batters reaching double figures in an innings|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283056.html|access-date=6 January 2022|website=ESPNcricinfo|archive-date=6 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106022910/https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283056.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the 1980s, India developed a more attack-minded batting line-up with stroke makers such as the wristy [[Mohammad Azharuddin]], [[Dilip Vengsarkar]] and all-rounders [[Kapil Dev]] and [[Ravi Shastri]]. India won the Cricket World Cup in 1983, defeating the favourites and the two-time defending champions West Indies in the final at Lord's, owing to a strong bowling performance. In spite of this, the team performed poorly in the Test arena, including 28 consecutive Test matches without a victory. In 1984, India won the [[Asia Cup]] and in 1985, won the [[World Championship of Cricket]] in Australia. Apart from this, India remained a weak team outside the [[Indian subcontinent]]. India's Test series victory in 1986 against England remained the last Test series win by India outside the [[Indian subcontinent|subcontinent]] for the next 19 years. The 1980s saw Gavaskar and Kapil Dev (India's best all-rounder to date) at the pinnacle of their careers. Gavaskar made a Test record 34 centuries as he became the first man to reach the 10,000 run mark. Kapil Dev later became the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket with 434 wickets.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/30th-january-1994-when-kapil-dev-became-the-leading-wicket-taker-in-the-world/story-kPD30xZAgFfJJg2iTatJPO.html|title=30th January 1994: When Kapil Dev became the leading wicket-taker in the world|date=30 January 2019|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=14 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114164938/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/30th-january-1994-when-kapil-dev-became-the-leading-wicket-taker-in-the-world/story-kPD30xZAgFfJJg2iTatJPO.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The period was also marked by an unstable leadership, with Gavaskar and Kapil exchanging the captaincy several times.<ref>{{Cite web |agency=[[Indo-Asian News Service]] |date=29 June 2020 |title=Sunil Gavaskar: Was replaced as captain despite India winning West Indies series |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/was-replaced-as-captain-despite-india-winning-west-indies-series-sunil-gavaskar/articleshow/76689090.cms |access-date=6 January 2022 |website=The Times of India |archive-date=6 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106022912/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/was-replaced-as-captain-despite-india-winning-west-indies-series-sunil-gavaskar/articleshow/76689090.cms |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/sunil-gavaskar-on-why-kapil-dev-was-dropped-for-1984-kolkata-test-why-would-i-drop-my-only-match-winner-1776640-2021-03-07|title=Sunil Gavaskar on why Kapil Dev was dropped for 1984 Kolkata Test: 'Why would I drop my only match-winner'|access-date=14 January 2023|archive-date=14 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114165444/https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/sunil-gavaskar-on-why-kapil-dev-was-dropped-for-1984-kolkata-test-why-would-i-drop-my-only-match-winner-1776640-2021-03-07|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Late 20th century (1985–2000)===
{{see also|History of cricket in India from 1985–86 to 2000}}
[[File:Kumble edited.jpg|thumb|With 619 wickets, [[Anil Kumble]] is the world's fourth highest wicket-taker in Tests and India's highest Test and ODI wicket-taker.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/anil-kumble-30176 |title=Anil Kumble |publisher=ESPNCricInfo |access-date=8 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211161513/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/30176.html |archive-date=11 February 2009 |url-status=live }}</ref>]]
The addition of [[Sachin Tendulkar]] and [[Anil Kumble]] to the national side in 1989 and 1990 further improved the team. The following year, [[Javagal Srinath]], India's fastest bowler since [[Amar Singh (cricketer)|Amar Singh]] made his debut. Despite this, during the 1990s, India did not win any of its 33 Tests outside the [[South Asia|subcontinent]] while it won 17 out of its 30 Tests at home. After being eliminated by neighbours Sri Lanka on home soil at the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] semifinal, the team underwent a year of change as [[Sourav Ganguly]] and [[Rahul Dravid]], later to become captains of the team, made their debut in the same Test at Lord's. Tendulkar replaced Azharuddin as captain in late 1996, but after a personal and team form slump, Tendulkar relinquished the captaincy and Azharuddin was reinstated at the beginning of 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sachin-tendulkar-wasn-t-the-most-motivational-captain/story-FYXRNxp04IcXr8fFION8GI.html|title='Sachin Tendulkar didn't have a strong team but he wasn't the most motivational captain either'|date=5 September 2020|access-date=3 October 2022|archive-date=3 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003151936/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sachin-tendulkar-wasn-t-the-most-motivational-captain/story-FYXRNxp04IcXr8fFION8GI.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

After failing to reach the semifinals at the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]], Tendulkar was again made captain, and had another poor run, losing 3–0 on a tour of Australia and then 2–0 at home to South Africa. [[Sachin Tendulkar|Tendulkar]] resigned, vowing never to captain the team again.

==Governing body==
{{Main|Board of Control for Cricket in India}}

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the governing body for the Indian cricket team and first-class cricket in India. The Board has been operating since 1929 and represents India at the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC). Its headquarter is situated in the 'Cricket centre' at [[Churchgate]], [[Mumbai]], [[Maharashtra]]. It is amongst the richest sporting organisations in the world. It sold media rights for India's matches from 2006 to 2010 for $612,000,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/02/18/stories/2006021803840100.htm|access-date=11 January 2007|title=Nimbus Bags Cricket Rights for $612 m|work=The Hindu|location=India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070110084913/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/02/18/stories/2006021803840100.htm|archive-date=10 January 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Roger Binny]] is present BCCI president and [[Jay Shah]] is secretary.

The International Cricket Council determines India's upcoming matches through its future tours program. However, the BCCI, with its influential financial position in the cricketing world, has often challenged the ICC's program and called for more series between India, Australia and England which are more likely to earn more revenue as opposed to tours with [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] or [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-facing-threat-from-india-231378|access-date=8 March 2022|title=ICC faces threat from India|publisher=[[ESPNCricinfo]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070208025021/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/231378.html|archive-date=8 February 2007|url-status=live|date=3 January 2006}}</ref> In the past, the BCCI has also come into conflict with the ICC regarding [[sponsor (commercial)|sponsorship]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/425822/161040|access-date=11 January 2007|title=India challenge ICC|publisher=[[TVNZ]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070208210740/http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/425822/161040|archive-date=8 February 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Selection committee ===
{{Main|India national cricket team selectors}}
Selection for the Indian cricket team occurs through the BCCI's zonal selection policy, where each of the five zones is represented with one selector and one of the members nominated by BCCI as the chairman of the selection committee. This has sometimes led to controversy as to whether these selectors are biased towards their zones.<ref name="selection">{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060730/main4.htm|access-date=11 January 2007|title=Selection Policy not Zonal: Pawar|work=The Tribune|location=India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070208054326/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060730/main4.htm|archive-date=8 February 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>

Until 18 November 2022, [[Chetan Sharma]] was the chief selector and [[Debashish Mohanty]], [[Harvinder Singh]] and [[Sunil Joshi]] were members. The entire panel was sacked after the unsuccessful performance of the team in [[2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |date=18 November 2022 |title=T20 World Cup fallout: BCCI sacks entire selection panel, split captaincy in job mandate for new committee |website=[[The Times of India]] |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/t20-world-cup-fallout-bcci-sacks-entire-chetan-sharma-led-selection-committee/articleshow/95610511.cms |url-status=live |access-date=18 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221119065836/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/t20-world-cup-fallout-bcci-sacks-entire-chetan-sharma-led-selection-committee/articleshow/95610511.cms |archive-date=19 November 2022}}</ref>

== Team colours ==
India plays its test cricket matches with the traditional [[cricket whites]] with the caps and helmets being navy blue, while the uniforms worn in limited-overs matches have different shades of blue for [[One Day International|ODIs]] and [[Twenty20|T20s]], which sometimes has a splash of the colours which are present in Indian flag.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Iconic shades of blue: Evolution of Team India's jersey from 1985 to 2021 |url=https://www.wionews.com/photos/iconic-shades-of-blue-evolution-of-team-indias-jersey-from-1985-to-2021-420376 |access-date=2023-07-19 |website=WION |language=en-us}}</ref>

There are numerous world-renowned cricket stadiums located in India. Most grounds are under the administration of various state cricket boards as opposed to being under the control of the BCCI. The Bombay Gymkhana was the first ground in India to host a full-scale cricket match featuring an Indian cricket team. This was between the Parsis and the Europeans in 1877. The first stadium to host a Test match in India was also the Gymkhana Ground in [[Bombay]] in 1933, the only Test it ever hosted. The second and third Tests in the 1933 series were hosted at [[Eden Gardens]] and [[Chepauk]]. The [[Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium|Feroz Shah Kotla Ground]] in Delhi was the first stadium to host a Test match after independence, a draw against the West Indies in 1948, the first of a 5-Test series. 21 stadiums in India have hosted at least one [[List of Test cricket grounds|official Test match]]. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of world-class cricket stadiums in India.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/others/mohalis-mullanpur-stadium-named-after-maharaja-yadavindra-singh-101616963863958.html|title=Mohali's Mullanpur stadium named after Maharaja Yadavindra Singh|date=29 March 2021|access-date=5 October 2022|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005110206/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/others/mohalis-mullanpur-stadium-named-after-maharaja-yadavindra-singh-101616963863958.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2020/jan/08/cricketer-rohit-sharma-lays-stone-for-international-cricket-stadium-in-hyderabad-2084662.html|title=Cricketer Rohit Sharma lays stone for international cricket stadium in Hyderabad|access-date=5 October 2022|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005110206/https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2020/jan/08/cricketer-rohit-sharma-lays-stone-for-international-cricket-stadium-in-hyderabad-2084662.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Captains==
{{Main|List of India national cricket captains}}
A total of 35 men have captained the Indian men's cricket team in at least one Test match, although only six have led the team in more than 25 matches, and six have captained the team in men's ODIs but not Tests. India's first captain of men's cricket team was [[C. K. Nayudu]], who led the team in four matches against England: one in England in 1932 and a series of three matches at home in 1933–34. [[Lala Amarnath]], India's fourth captain of men's cricket team and the first Indian to score a century in test cricket while playing for India, led the team in its first Test match after [[Partition of India|Indian independence]]. He also captained the side to its first Test victory and first series win, both in a three-match series at home against Pakistan in 1952–53. From 1952 until 1961–62, India men's cricket team had a number of captains such as [[Vijay Hazare]], [[Polly Umrigar]] and [[Nari Contractor]].<ref>{{cite web|title=List of Test captains|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/individual/list_captains.html?class=1;id=6;type=team|access-date=9 January 2022|website=ESPNcricinfo|archive-date=7 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220207120351/https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/individual/list_captains.html?class=1;id=6;type=team|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/captains-of-one-day-cricket-team-of-india-1544187909-1|title=List of Captains of One Day Cricket Team of India|access-date=7 December 2021|archive-date=7 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207062809/https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/captains-of-one-day-cricket-team-of-india-1544187909-1|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Nawab of Pataudi, [[Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi]], was the men's team's captain for 36 Test matches from 1961–62 to 1969–70, returning for another four matches against West Indies in 1974–75. In the early years of his captaincy tenure, the team was whitewashed in the West Indies, England and Australia. However, in 1967–68, Pataudi led India men's cricket team on its maiden New Zealand tour, which ended in India winning the Test series 3–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tempting-tastes-dished-up-when-india-visits-new-zealand-121468|title=Tempting tastes dished up when India visits New Zealand|access-date=16 April 2023|archive-date=16 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416041226/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tempting-tastes-dished-up-when-india-visits-new-zealand-121468|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1970–71, [[Ajit Wadekar]] took over the captaincy from Pataudi.

[[Sunil Gavaskar]] took over as men's Test and ODI captain in 1978–79, leading India in 47 Test matches and 37 ODIs, winning 9 Tests and 14 ODIs. He was succeeded by [[Kapil Dev]] in the 1980s, who captained for 34 Test matches, including 4 victories. Kapil Dev led India to victory in 39 of his 74 ODIs in charge, including the [[1983 Cricket World Cup]]. Kapil Dev also captained India's 2–0 Test series victory in England in 1986. Between 1987–88 and 1989–90, India had three captains in [[Dilip Vengsarkar]], [[Ravi Shastri]] and [[Krishnamachari Srikkanth]]. Vengsarkar took over the captaincy from Kapil Dev after the 1987 Cricket World Cup. Although he started with two centuries in his first series as captain, his captaincy period was turbulent and he lost the job following a disastrous tour of the West Indies in early-1989 and a stand-off with the Indian cricket board (BCCI).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/dilip-vengsarkar-35654|title=Dilip Vengsarkar Captaincy|access-date=7 December 2021|archive-date=6 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206220434/https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/dilip-vengsarkar-35654|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/3832/dilip-vengsarkar|title=Dilip Vengsarkar|access-date=7 December 2021|archive-date=7 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207062810/https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/3832/dilip-vengsarkar|url-status=live}}</ref>

India has had six regular Test captains of men's cricket team since [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] took charge in 1989.

India lost only three Tests at home under Ganguly and managed to draw Test series in England and Australia. [[Rahul Dravid]] took over as men's Test captain in 2005.

In September 2007, [[MS Dhoni]] was named as the new captain of the men's ODI and [[Twenty20 International]] teams, after Dravid stepped down from the post. Soon after taking up the captaincy, Dhoni led the team to the [[2007 ICC World Twenty20|inaugural World men's Twenty20]] title. [[Anil Kumble]] was appointed Test captain in November 2007, but retired from international cricket in November 2008 after captaining in 14 Tests. Dhoni succeeded him as the men's Test captain, making him the captain in all formats. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Indian men's cricket team held the number one position in the [[ICC Men's Test Team Rankings]] for 21 months (from November 2009 to August 2011), and set a national record for most back-to-back ODI wins (nine straight wins).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5gOJEqagSwUYDvgJXf2lhE0pHlBjA|archive-url=https://archive.today/20090213041951/http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5gOJEqagSwUYDvgJXf2lhE0pHlBjA|url-status=dead|title=The Canadian Press: Sri Lanka denies India 5–0 rout by winning final ...|date=13 February 2009|archive-date=13 February 2009}}</ref> Dhoni also led the team to victory in [[2011 Cricket World Cup]] and [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy]].

They are known to attribute a number of popular Indian songs to the cricket team.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/12/27/1072308727357.html?from=storyrhs|title=Swami Army Roars to Full Battle Cry|work=The Age Newspaper|access-date=21 September 2006|location=Melbourne|date=28 December 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071017155413/http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/12/27/1072308727357.html?from=storyrhs|archive-date=17 October 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>

Fan rivalry and cross-border tension has created a [[India–Pakistan cricket rivalry|strong rivalry between the Indian and the Pakistani cricket teams]]. In tours between these two nations, cricket visas are often employed to accommodate for the tens of thousands of fans wishing to cross the border to watch cricket. This intense fan dedication is one of the major causes of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI's]] financial success.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050221/sports.htm#1|title = 10,000 Visas for Pak Cricket Fans|work = The Tribune, Chandigarh|access-date = 21 September 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060903055335/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050221/sports.htm#1|archive-date = 3 September 2006|url-status = live}}</ref>

However, there are downsides to having such a cricket-loving population. Many Indians hold [[Cricket in India|cricket]] very close to their hearts and losses are not received well by the Indian population. In some cases, particularly after losses to Pakistan or after a long string of weak performances, there have been reports of player [[effigy|effigies]] being burnt in the streets and vandalism of player homes.<ref>{{cite news|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2870000/newsid_2871400/2871497.stm|title = Ganguly's Debt of Gratitude|work = BBC News|access-date = 21 September 2006|date = 21 March 2003|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090113015842/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2870000/newsid_2871400/2871497.stm|archive-date = 13 January 2009|url-status = live}}</ref> In many cases, players have come under intense attention from the media for negative reasons, this has been considered one of the reasons for Sourav Ganguly being left out of the Indian team. At times, when a match is surrounded by controversy, it has resulted in a debacle. For example, when India slid to defeat against Australia at [[Brabourne Stadium]] in 1969, fans began throwing stones and bottles onto the field as well as setting fire to the stands, before laying siege to the Australian dressing rooms. During the same tour, a stampede occurred at Eden Gardens when tickets were oversold and India fell to another loss; the Australian team bus was later stoned with bricks.<ref name="Riots">{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/i-predict-a-riot-243910|title = I predict a riot|author=Andrew Miller|author2=Martin Williamson|access-date = 8 March 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070208133819/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/243910.html|archive-date = 8 February 2007|url-status = live|date = 11 April 2006}}</ref> A similar event occurred during the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]], where India were losing the semi-final to Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens. In this case, the fan behaviour was directed at the Indian team in disappointment at their lacklustre performance. An armed guard had to be placed at the home of captain [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] to ensure his safety.<ref name="Riots" /> Indian fans have also been passionate in their following of Sachin Tendulkar, who has been commonly thought of as one of the best batsmen in the world. Glorified for the bulk of his career, a riot occurred in early 1999 in a Test against Pakistan at [[Eden Gardens]] after a collision with Pakistani paceman [[Shoaib Akhtar]] saw him run out, forcing police to eject spectators and the game to be played in an empty stadium. Although in 2006, a string of low scores resulted in Tendulkar being booed by the Mumbai crowd when he got out against England.<ref name="Sachinboo">{{cite web|url = http://www.indiadaily.org/entry/sachin-tendulkar-booed-by-wankhede-crowd/|title = Sachin Tendulkar booed by Wankhede Crowd|work = India Daily|access-date = 15 January 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061011174138/http://www.indiadaily.org/entry/sachin-tendulkar-booed-by-wankhede-crowd/|archive-date = 11 October 2006|url-status = dead}}</ref>

Often, fans engage in protests regarding players if they believe that regionalism has affected selection, or because of regional partisan support for local players. In 2005, when Sourav Ganguly was dropped from the team, Ganguly's home town [[Kolkata]] erupted in protests.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2005/dec/15protest.htm|title = Protests rock Kolkata over Ganguly's exclusion|work = Rediff|access-date = 14 October 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051218094401/http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2005/dec/15protest.htm|archive-date = 18 December 2005|url-status = live}}</ref> India later played a match against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in [[Kolkata]], West Bengal. The Indian team was booed by the crowd who supported South Africa instead of India in response to Ganguly's dropping.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/for-the-love-of-dada-when-eden-gardens-turned-against-india-because-ganguly-was-not-playing-501704.html|title=For The Love Of Dada - When Eden Gardens Turned Against India Because Ganguly Was Not Playing|date=26 May 2020|access-date=7 December 2021|archive-date=7 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211207061538/https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/for-the-love-of-dada-when-eden-gardens-turned-against-india-because-ganguly-was-not-playing-501704.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Similar regional divisions in India regarding selection have also caused protests against the team, with political activists from the regional Kalinga Kamgar Sena party in [[Odisha]] disrupting the arrival of the team in [[Cuttack]] for an ODI over the lack of a local player in the team, with one activist manhandling coach [[Greg Chappell]].<ref>{{cite news|title =Security concerns over Barabati Stadium's future|url =https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/security-concerns-over-barabati-stadium-s-future-277430|date=24 January 2007|access-date=8 March 2022|publisher =ESPNCricinfo|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20070127090954/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/indvwi/content/current/story/277430.html|archive-date =27 January 2007|url-status =live}}</ref> Similar treatment was handed to [[Sunil Gavaskar]] in the [[1987 Cricket World Cup knockout stage|1987 World Cup Semi Finals]] by crowds at [[Wankhede Stadium]] when he got [[bowled]] by [[Phillip DeFreitas]].<ref name="Sachinboo" />

A successful string of results, especially victories against the arch-rival Pakistan or victories in major tournaments such as the [[Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] are greeted with particular ecstasy from the Indian fans.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040402/sports.htm#5|title = The Entire Nation Erupts with Joy|work = The Tribune, Chandigarh|access-date = 8 March 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060910193235/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040402/sports.htm#5|archive-date = 10 September 2006|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/india-pakistan-cricket-rivalry-a-war-without-shooting-magazine-234361|title=India-Pakistan Cricket Rivalry: A War Without Shooting|access-date=21 April 2023|archive-date=20 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230420211702/https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/india-pakistan-cricket-rivalry-a-war-without-shooting-magazine-234361|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/india-vs-pakistan-a-complex-cricket-rivalry-hitting-new-heights/a-63488368|title=India vs. Pakistan: A complex rivalry hitting new heights|website=[[Deutsche Welle]]|access-date=21 April 2023|archive-date=21 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421160831/https://www.dw.com/en/india-vs-pakistan-a-complex-cricket-rivalry-hitting-new-heights/a-63488368|url-status=live}}</ref>
