| Cricket was introduced to India by [[British people|British]] sailors in the 18th century, and the [[Calcutta Cricket and Football Club|first cricket club]] was established in 1792. India's national cricket team did not play its first Test match until 25 June 1932 at [[Lord's]], becoming the sixth team to be granted test cricket status. From 1932 India had to wait until 1952, almost 20 years for its first Test victory. In its first fifty years of international cricket, India didn't gain much success, winning only 35 of the first 196 Test matches it played. The team, however, gained strength in the 1970s with the emergence of players like [[Sunil Gavaskar|Gavaskar]], [[Gundappa Viswanath|Viswanath]], [[Kapil Dev]], and the [[Indian spin quartet]].
| |
| | |
| Traditionally much stronger at home than abroad, the Indian team has improved its overseas form, especially in limited-overs cricket, since the start of the 21st century, winning Test matches in [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]], [[England cricket team|England]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]]. It is the second cricket team to win the World Cup after West Indies. It has won the [[India at the Cricket World Cup|Cricket World Cup]] twice – in [[1983 Cricket World Cup|1983]] under the captaincy of [[Kapil Dev]] and in [[2011 Cricket World Cup|2011]] under the captaincy of [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]].

The team has also won the [[World Championship of Cricket|World Championship of Cricket in 1985]] defeating [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in the final. They have also won [[Asia Cup]] seven times, making them one of the most successful cricket team in both Asia and the world. They are also one of the only four teams to win all major [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] tournaments. India have also won the [[ICC Test Championship]] (5 times), [[ICC ODI Championship]], [[ICC T20I Championship]].

| | |
| The Indian cricket team has rivalries with other Test-playing nations, most notably [[India–Pakistan cricket rivalry|with Pakistan]], the [[India–Pakistan relations|political arch-rival of India]]. However, in recent times, rivalries with nations like Australia, South Africa and England have also gained prominence.

The Indian team continued to improve throughout the 1930s and '40s but did not achieve an international victory during this period. In the early 1940s, India didn't play any Test cricket due to the [[Second World War]]. The team's first series as an independent country was in late 1947 against [[Sir Donald Bradman]]'s [[The Invincibles (cricket)|Invincibles]] (a name given to the [[Australia national cricket team]] of that time).

However, they did not win again in the remainder of the decade and lost badly to strong Australian and English sides. On 24 August 1959, India lost by an innings in the Test to complete the only 5–0 whitewash ever inflicted by England. The next decade saw India's reputation develop as a team with a strong record at home. They won their first Test series against England at home in 1961–62 and also won a home series against New Zealand. They managed to draw home series against Pakistan and Australia and another series against England. In this same period, India also won its first series outside the subcontinent, against New Zealand in 1967–68.

| The key to India's [[bowling (cricket)|bowling]] in the 1970s were the [[Indian spin quartet]] – [[Bishen Bedi]], [[E.A.S. Prasanna]], [[BS Chandrasekhar]] and [[Srinivas Venkataraghavan]]. This period also saw the emergence of two of India's best ever batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and [[Gundappa Viswanath]]. Indian [[cricket pitch|pitches]] have had the tendency to support [[spin bowling|spin]] and the spin quartet exploited this to create collapses in opposing batting line-ups. 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]]. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in the West Indian series while [[Dilip Sardesai]]'s 112 played a big part in their one Test win.

| The advent of [[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.

| 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. This West Indian defeat is considered to be a watershed in the history of their cricket because it led to captain [[Clive Lloyd]] dispensing with spin altogether and relying entirely on a four-man pace attack instead. 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. There were six fifties, the highest being 70 by [[Mohinder Amarnath]]. This innings was only the eighth instance in Test cricket where all eleven batsmen reached double figures.
| |
| | |
| During the 1980s, India developed a more attack-minded batting line-up with stroke makers such as the wristy [[Mohammed 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 Lords, 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. The period was also marked by an unstable leadership, with Gavaskar and Kapil exchanging the captaincy several times.

| 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. With the captaincy burden removed, Tendulkar was the world's leading run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs, as India enjoyed a home Test series win over Australia, the best-ranked team in the world.

| 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. Tendulkar resigned, vowing never to captain the team again. Ganguly was appointed the new captain and the team was further damaged in 2000 when former captain Azharuddin and fellow batsman [[Ajay Jadeja]] were implicated in a match-fixing scandal and given life and five years bans respectively. This period was described by the BBC as "the Indian cricket's worst hour". However, the new core – Tendulkar, Dravid, Kumble and Ganguly – swore not to let this happen to them again, and lead Indian cricket out of the dark times. And the first three put aside personal ambitions to let Ganguly lead them into a new era.<ref name="bbc.co.uk">{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-19352766 | work=BBC News | title=India cricket: Middle-order retirements are end of era | date=23 August 2012 | access-date=22 June 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151018224629/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-19352766 | archive-date=18 October 2015 | url-status=live }}</ref>

| ====Success under Ganguly====

| {{see also|History of cricket in India from 2000–01}}
| |
| The Indian team underwent major improvements under the captaincy of [[Sourav Ganguly]] and guidance of [[John Wright (cricketer, born 1954)|John Wright]], India's first foreign [[List of India national cricket coaches|coach]]. India maintained their unbeaten home record against Australia in Test series after victory in 2001. The series was famous for the Kolkata Test match, in which India became only the third team in the history of Test cricket to win a Test match after following on. [[Australian national cricket captains|Australian captain]] [[Steve Waugh]] labelled India as the "Final Frontier" because of his side's inability to win a Test series in India.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/NATIONAL/IND/NEWS/STEVEWAUGH_COLUMN.html|title = Steve Waugh Column|work = Steve Waugh|access-date = 21 September 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071017222838/http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/NATIONAL/IND/NEWS/STEVEWAUGH_COLUMN.html|archive-date = 17 October 2007|url-status = live}}</ref> Victory in 2001 against the Australians marked the beginning of a dream run for India under their captain [[Sourav Ganguly]], winning Test matches in [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]], Sri Lanka, West Indies and England. The England series is also known for India's highest ODI run-chase of 325 runs at Lord's, which came in the Natwest ODI Series final against England. In the same year, India were joint-winners of the [[ICC Champions Trophy]] with Sri Lanka and then went to the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]] in South Africa, where they reached the final, only to be beaten by Australia. The 2003–04 season also saw India play out a Test series in Australia, where they drew 1–1 with the world champions, and then win a Test and ODI series in Pakistan.

| |
| From the 2004 season, India suffered from lack of form and fitness from its older players. A defeat in a home Test series against Australia was followed by an ODI home series defeat against Pakistan followed by a Test series levelled 1–1. [[Greg Chappell]] took over from John Wright as the coach of the Indian cricket team following the series, but his methods proved controversial and led to a falling out with Ganguly, resulting in Rahul Dravid being made captain. This triggered a revival in the team's fortunes with the emergence of such players as MS Dhoni and [[Suresh Raina]], and the coming of age of [[Irfan Pathan]] and [[Yuvraj Singh]]. A thumping home series victory over Sri Lanka in 2005 and a drawn series with South Africa put India at second place in the ICC ODI rankings. Dravid, Tendulkar and [[Virender Sehwag]] were selected to play for the [[2005 ICC Super Series|ICC World XI]] in the 2005 "[[ICC Super Series|SuperTest]]" against Australia. A convincing ODI series win in Pakistan in early 2006, following a loss in the Test series, gave India the world record of 17 successive ODI victories while batting second.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.hinduonnet.com/2005/03/02/stories/2005030204681900.htm|title = TWI gets production rights for India-Pakistan series|work = The Hindu – Sport|access-date = 14 October 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071126145458/http://hinduonnet.com/2005/03/02/stories/2005030204681900.htm|archive-date = 26 November 2007|url-status = dead|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

| | |
| However, a 4–1 series loss in the West Indies in 2006 prompted a slump in India's ODI form, while they achieved a 1–0 victory in the Test series that followed, giving them their first Test series victory in the Caribbean since 1971. India's ODI form slumped further with a disappointing performance in the 2006 Champions Trophy and a drubbing in the ODI series in South Africa. This was followed yet again by an initial good performance in the Tests, giving India its first Test match win in South Africa, although they went on to lose the series 2–1. This Test series was marked by Ganguly's comeback to the Indian team.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.hinduonnet.com/2005/03/02/stories/2005030204681900.htm|title = India can find right balance before World Cup|work = Jamie Alter|access-date = 14 October 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071126145458/http://hinduonnet.com/2005/03/02/stories/2005030204681900.htm|archive-date = 26 November 2007|url-status = dead|df = dmy-all}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| In December 2006, India played and won its first [[Twenty20]] international in South Africa, becoming the most recent Test team to play Twenty20 cricket. The beginning of 2007 had seen a revival in the Indian team's ODI fortunes before the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]]. Series victories against the West Indies and Sri Lanka, marked by the comeback of Ganguly and strong form by Tendulkar, as well as the emergence of young players like [[Robin Uthappa]] persuaded many pundits to tip India as a contender to win the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]]. However, defeats to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka saw India fail to reach the second round.

| | |
| ====Success under Dhoni====
| |
| [[File:Sachin Tendulkar at MRF Promotion Event.jpg|thumb|[[Sachin Tendulkar]] Holding the 2011 World Cup.]]
| |
| After [[Indian cricket team in England in 2007|winning the Test series against England]] in August 2007, Dravid stepped down as captain and Dhoni was made captain of the Twenty20 and ODI team. In September 2007, India won the first-ever [[Twenty20 World Cup]] held in South Africa, beating Pakistan by 5 runs in the final. In 2007–08, they toured Australia where India lost the highly controversial home [[Indian cricket team in Australia in 2007-08|Test series]] 2–1 but managed to win the CB series the following month with a whitewash of Australia.
| |
| | |
| In April 2009, India secured their first Test series win in New Zealand in 41 years. After beating Sri Lanka 2–0 in December 2009, India became the No. 1 Test team in the world. They retained the ranking by drawing series against South Africa and Sri Lanka. In October 2010, India whitewashed Australia 2–0 in the home test series, giving them back-to-back series wins against them. Later that year, India managed to draw the Test series in South Africa at 1–1.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-v-india-2010/content/current/series/463136.html The series] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110308152608/http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-v-india-2010/content/current/series/463136.html |date=8 March 2011 }} cricinfo</ref>
| |
| | |
| On 2 April 2011, India won the 2011 Cricket World Cup by defeating Sri Lanka in the final, thus becoming the third team after West Indies and Australia to win the World Cup twice.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/509121.html Dhoni and Gambhir lead India to World Cup glory] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111212222457/http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/509121.html |date=12 December 2011 }} ESPNCricinfo.

| India were whitewashed 4–0 in an away Test series in England in August 2011, which resulted in England replacing India as the No. 1 ranked Test team.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/story/527348.html |title=England dethrone India to become No.1 |work=Cricinfo |date=13 August 2011 |access-date=23 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230075028/http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/story/527348.html |archive-date=30 December 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> This was followed by another 4–0 whitewash January 2012 in Australia. The disastrous whitewashes saw the retirement of Dravid and [[VVS Laxman]] from Test cricket in 2012. Tendulkar retired in November 2013 after his 200th Test match. With Ganguly retired in 2008, this period signalled the end of the fabled middle-order batting line-up India had for over a decade. In 2012, India continued to face a tough transition period as they were beaten 2–1 in a home Test series by England. This was the first time India had been beaten by England at home since [[English cricket team in India and Sri Lanka in 1984–85|1984–85]]. This was followed by a 2–1 loss in the ODI series against Pakistan at home. India were then knocked out in the second round of the [[2012 ICC World Twenty20]]. India also failed to qualify for the [[2012 Asia Cup]] final, which closed out a disappointing year for India. However, 2013 saw a resurgence in Indian cricket.
| |
| | |
| ====Worldwide limited-overs success====
| |
| In early 2013, India returned the favor to Australia and whitewashed them 4–0 at home in a Test series. India then beat the Aussies 3–2 in the seven-match ODI series and won the one-off T20I. However, India lost heavily against New Zealand and South Africa away from home, leading to heavy criticism of Indian cricketers for not being able to perform overseas. India defeated England in the [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy]] final and Dhoni became the first captain in history to win the three major ICC trophies, namely the [[ICC Cricket World Cup]], [[ICC World Twenty20]] and ICC Champions Trophy. This was followed by a victory in the [[West Indies Triangular Series in 2013]] consisting of India, West Indies, and Sri Lanka. In 2014, India toured Bangladesh and England. Although they beat the former 2–0 in three ODIs, India was beaten 3–1 in five [[Test cricket|Test matches]] by England. This series included a famous win for the Indian team in the second match of the series at Lord's. The Test series was followed by a 3–1 win for the Indians in a five-match ODI series and a loss in a one-off T20 against England.
| |
| | |
| India again failed to reach the final of the [[Asia Cup]] in 2014. In the [[2014 ICC World Twenty20]] hosted in Bangladesh, India narrowly missed out on another ICC trophy by losing to Sri Lanka in the final. This tournament saw the rise of [[Virat Kohli]] as one of the best-limited overs batsmen in world cricket, as he was adjudged the man of the series. India soon comprehensively beat Sri Lanka and West Indies in the ODI series to cement their position at the top of the ODI rankings. India toured Australia towards the end of 2014 for a 4-match Test series, which is remembered for MS Dhoni's sudden retirement from Test cricket after the end of the second Test. Virat Kohli was appointed as the captain of Team India in Test matches but he was unable to turn the series around and India lost 2–0. Kohli's first series win as captain came away from home in a three-match Test series vs Sri Lanka, which signalled the beginning of an unbeaten Test series run for India.
| |
| | |
| India began to dominate at home in Test matches under new captain Virat Kohli after they comprehensively beat South Africa in 2015. This series was the beginning of an unbeaten streak of 19 Test matches. This series also saw the emergence of [[Ravichandran Ashwin]] and [[Ravindra Jadeja]] as two of the best spinners and all-rounders. This was followed by limited-overs victories over Australia and Sri Lanka away from home. India was knocked out of the [[2015 ICC Cricket World Cup|2015 World Cup]] in the semi-final to eventual winners Australia. India began 2016 by winning the [[2016 Asia Cup]], remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament. India were favorites to win the [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]], which was being held at home, but lost in the semi-final to eventual champions West Indies.
| |
| | |
| In 2016, "The Grand Home Season" began for India, including series at home against New Zealand, England, Bangladesh, and Australia. India whitewashed New Zealand to regain the number one ranking in Test cricket after almost 10 years. Before the series against England, MS Dhoni resigned as captain in limited-overs, thus handing the captaincy to Virat Kohli across all formats. India beat England across all three formats, with a notable 4–0 win in the Test series. This was followed by Test series wins against Bangladesh and Australia, which meant India reclaimed the [[Border Gavaskar Trophy]]. In the process, India became the third team (after South Africa and Australia) to have won their most recent Test series against all the other Test-playing nations. India holds an unbeaten streak of 8 consecutive Test series wins {{as of|2017|August|19|lc=y}}.

| The next year saw mixed results in Tests for India: they lost away series in both South Africa and England but won their away series against Australia; the first time they had won a series there. In-home Tests, they defeated West Indies. They won the ODI leg of the South African tour, followed by the tri-series with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They lost 2–1 in the ODI series in England, followed by a win at home to West Indies and away to both Australia and New Zealand. At the start of 2019, Australia won a T20I series 2–0, marking Virat Kohli's first home defeat in a T20I series. Australia also won the ODI series 3–2. The Indian team next played [[2019 Cricket World Cup]] where the team finished first in the group stage with 7 wins and only 1 loss which came against host nation England. They made the semis but lost to New Zealand by 18 runs.[[Rohit Sharma]] was the highest run-scorer for the team with 648 runs. India next toured West Indies, whitewashing them in T20I, one day Internationals and Test with a record 3–0,2-0 in both ODIS and Tests. Then, India played their matches at home: the first one against [[South African cricket team in India in 2019-20|South Africa]] in September–October 2019. The T20I series was drawn and meanwhile, the Test series was won by India. Their next home series was against [[Bangladeshi cricket team in India in 2019-20|Bangladesh]]. India played three T20IS and won against Bangladesh 2–1. The third T20I saw [[Deepak Chahar]] taking the best bowling figures in T20 internationals and the best bowling figures by an Indian. Next, India played two tests and won easily. The second test was a grand one, hosting India"s first Day-Night Test with Pink Ball in [[Eden Gardens]] in [[Kolkata]],and India won the match by 46 runs and the series. This win also made India the first team to get consecutive four victories by an innings. They played their last series of 2019 against [[West Indian cricket team in India in 2019-20|West Indies]] and they won the T20I and ODI and series by 2-1 and 3–1.
| |
| | |
| India played its first T201 series of 2020 against Sri Lanka and won easily by a margin of 2–0, next they played three ODIS against [[Australian cricket team in India in 2019-20|Australia]] and won by 2–0. After Australia, India played its first away series against [[Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2019-20|New Zealand]] and won a T20I series in New Zealand for the first time by 5–0, but they lost the 3 ODIS by 3-0. They played the Tests as well but lost the series by 2-0. India were supposed to play [[South African cricket team|South Africa]] at home in March 2020, but the tour got cancelled due to [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]]. After eight months, India played against Australia in late 2020. They started the tour by playing 3 ODIs, but lost the series 2-1. Next, they played the T20I series, but this time they won. They also played the [[Test cricket|Border-Gavaskar Trophy]] which witnessed one of the most memorable comebacks in Indian cricket. They were 36 all out in the first Test which Australia won by 8 wickets. They won the second Test in [[Melbourne]] by 8 wickets, drew out the third Test in [[Sydney]] and won the fourth Test in [[Brisbane]] by 3 wickets.By winning the Test series in Australia , India became one of the teams alongside South Africa to win two Test series in Australia. India played it's first home series of 2021 against England. The matches were played in [[Chennai]], [[Ahmedabad]] and [[Pune]].They started the series by losing the first test in Chennai by 227 runs. But they won the next three Test matches by winning the Test series 3-1.Not only they won the Test series, they also qualified for the [[2021 ICC World Test Championship Final]]. They also played the T20I series which they won 3-2 and the ODI series which they won 2-1. Then, India played the [[2021 ICC World Test Championship Final]] against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] in [[ Southampton]] in which they lost by 8 wickets.

| {{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]]. It is amongst the richest sporting organisations in the world. It sold media rights for India's matches from 2006 to 2010 for US$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> It manages the Indian team's sponsorships, its future tours and team selection.

| 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=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/231378.html|access-date=11 January 2007|title=ICC faces threat from India|publisher=[[Cricinfo]]|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> and the legitimacy of the ICC Champions Trophy.

| === First-class ===
| |
| Cricket whites have been traditionally used by the team when playing [[first-class cricket]]. In addition to their whites, Indian fielders wear a dark blue cap or a white wide-brimmed sun hat, with the BCCI logo in the center. Helmets are also dark blue. Some players sport the Indian flag on their helmet.
| |
| | |
| The branding is minimal for whites; the BCCI logo is placed on the left chest while the team sponsor's logo is present on the middle/center chest. The kit manufacturer's logo is printed on the right chest of the players, with players names printed occasionally on the players back.
| |
| | |
| === Limited overs ===
| |
| Since colours have made their way into international cricket, the Indian cricket team has chosen blue as their primary colour. The blue colour of the uniform has earned them the nickname of 'Men in Blue' for the Indian cricket team. The secondary colour has changed over the years while yellow and orange have been dominant. With the inception of the [[World Series Cup]] in 1979, each team had to don a primary and secondary colour on their uniforms and the Indian team elected to wear light blue as their primary colour and yellow as their secondary colour. The team has worn different shades of blue since then. For the 1992 World Cup ([[1992 Cricket World Cup|Benson & Hedges World Cup]]), the team's colours were changed to navy-blue by [[ISC (sportswear)|ISC]], the common kit manufacturer for the tournament. A light shade of blue with yellow as secondary colour and a strip with 10 different colours (representing different nations) was adapted on the uniform for the 1996 World Cup ([[1996 Cricket World Cup|Wills World Cup]]) while an even lighter shade of blue and a dominant yellow was used by [[ASICS]], the common kit manufacturer for the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]]. The ICC no longer appoints a common kit manufacturer for its tournaments.
| |
| | |
| Different designs were adopted on the playing jerseys over the years and the most predominant one has been 'India' text written in yellow over a diagonal splash of the tricolour. [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] acquired the kit manufacturing rights for the team in 2005 and designed new jerseys for the 2007 World Cup with the lightest shade of blue used by the team till date and golden yellow as the secondary colour. A new tricolour accent was implemented on the right side of the jersey. The colour was changed to a darker feroza blue in 2009 with orange replacing yellow as the secondary colour.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Team-Indias-new-jersey-unveiled/articleshow/4148955.cms | work=The Times of India | title=Team India's new jersey unveiled | date=18 February 2009 | access-date=18 February 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220120150/http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Team-Indias-new-jersey-unveiled/articleshow/4148955.cms | archive-date=20 February 2009 | url-status=live }}</ref>

| Since international teams started using different kits for T20s and ODIs, Nike released the first T20 kit for the team in 2016<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.nike.com/news/team-india-unveils-t20-national-team-kit|title=Team India Unveils T20 National Team Kit|work=Nike News|access-date=29 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129100326/https://news.nike.com/news/team-india-unveils-t20-national-team-kit|archive-date=29 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> with a similar shade and a contemporary design. Multiple thin strips of orange and green were included on upper right and lower left sides of the jersey respectively. A new ODI jersey was unveiled by Nike in 2017<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/england-in-india-2016/nike-launches-new-india-odi-kit-before-england-series/articleshow/56496421.cms|title=Nike launches new India ODI kit before England series - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=29 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181129143546/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/england-in-india-2016/nike-launches-new-india-odi-kit-before-england-series/articleshow/56496421.cms|archive-date=29 November 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> with a similar shade of blue for the body and a darker shade of blue for the sleeves. The tricolour accent made a return to the uniform as a single thin strip on either sides of upper chest. During the recent series against Australia and England, India wore the 1992 version of their jersey with the new kit sponsors.
| |
| | |
| In addition to the blue uniforms, the caps worn by the players are similar to the design of uniforms. The wide-brimmed sun hats are usually white while the helmets used by the players are of darker blue.
| |
| | |
| Similar to the first-class kits, BCCI logo is placed on the left chest while the logo of the kit manufacturer sits on the right chest. The official team sponsor's logo is present on the central part of the jersey usually above "INDIA" text as well as the sleeve of the players' leading arms. For T20 kits, in addition to these, the sponsor's logo is also present on the back, below the players' numbers. However, for ICC tournaments, the tournament logo is placed on the right chest and the sponsor's logo is allowed only on the sleeve of the players' leading arms. The kit manufacturer's logo in such cases will be printed on the sleeve of the players' non-leading arms. The name and jersey number of the players are printed on the back. As per the agreement with ICC until July 2021, the sponsor logos will be enlarged and more prominent so as to help recoup the losses boards and sponsors had due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

| 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 [[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, with multiple Test venues in [[Nagpur]], [[Mohali]], [[Chennai]], [[Mumbai]], [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]], [[Indore]], [[Rajkot]], [[Ranchi]], [[Pune]], and [[Dharamshala]].

| India has now the world's largest cricket stadium. The Motera Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Eden Gardens in Kolkata has hosted the most Tests, and also has the second-largest [[seating capacity]] of any cricket stadium in the world, being capable of holding more than 1,10,000 spectators. Founded in 1864, it is one of the most historical stadiums in India, having hosted numerous historical and controversial matches.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/57980.html |title = Cricinfo – Grounds: Eden Gardens |work = Cricinfo |access-date = 21 September 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061006041632/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/57980.html |archive-date = 6 October 2006 |url-status = live }}</ref> Other major stadiums in India include the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, which was established in 1883 and hosted memorable matches including Anil Kumble's ten wickets in an innings haul against Pakistan.

| The Bombay Gymkhana hosted the first Test match in India which is the only Test it has hosted to date. [[Wankhede Stadium]], established in 1974, has a capacity to hold 33,000 spectators and is currently the most popular venue in the city. It has hosted 24 Test matches. It was the unofficial successor of the Brabourne Stadium, which is also located in Mumbai. Mumbai is often considered the cricketing capital of India because of its fans and the talent it produces (see [[Mumbai cricket team]]) and thus the stadium regularly hosts major Test matches.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/58324.html|title = Cricinfo – Grounds: Wankhede Stadium|work = Cricinfo|access-date = 21 September 2006|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061104024543/http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/58324.html|archive-date = 4 November 2006|url-status = live}}</ref> The [[M.

| |
| Thirty-three men have captained the Indian 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 ODIs but not Tests. India's first captain was [[CK 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, 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 had a number of captains such as [[Vijay Hazare]], [[Polly Umrigar]] and [[Nari Contractor]].
| |
| | |
| The [[Nawab of Pataudi]], [[Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi]], was the 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 on its maiden New Zealand tour, which ended in India winning the Test series 3–1. In 1970–71, [[Ajit Wadekar]] took over the captaincy from Pataudi. Under Wadekar's captaincy, India registered its first Test series win in the West Indies and England. India played its first ODI in 1974, also under his captaincy. India won its first ODI under the captaincy of [[Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan]] in the [[1975 Cricket World Cup]], against [[East African cricket team|East Africa]]. Between 1975–76 and 1978–79, [[Bishen Singh Bedi]] captained the team in 22 Tests and 4 ODIs, winning 6 Tests and one ODI.

| |
| [[Sunil Gavaskar]] took over as 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{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} 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).
| |
| | |
| India has had six regular Test captains since [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] took charge in 1989. Azharuddin led the team in 47 Test matches from 1989–90 to 1998–99, winning 14, and in 174 ODIs, winning 90. He was followed by Sachin Tendulkar, who captained the team in 25 Test matches and 73 ODIs in the late 1990s; Tendulkar was relatively unsuccessful<ref>{{cite news|title=Tendulkar on his captains: Ganguly was aggressive, Rahul methodical, Dhoni instinctive|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/tendulkar-on-his-captains-ganguly-was-aggressive-rahul-methodical-dhoni-instinctive-1791655.html|access-date=1 July 2015|work=[[Firstpost]]|date=7 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715070716/http://www.firstpost.com/sports/tendulkar-on-his-captains-ganguly-was-aggressive-rahul-methodical-dhoni-instinctive-1791655.html|archive-date=15 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.oneindia.in/sports/replacing-sachin-tendulkar-with-azharuddin-as-captain-in-1997-big-mystery-1553577.html|title=Replacing Sachin with Azhar as captain in 1997: When selectors spun the ball|access-date=8 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141109181442/http://news.oneindia.in/sports/replacing-sachin-tendulkar-with-azharuddin-as-captain-in-1997-big-mystery-1553577.html|archive-date=9 November 2014|url-status=live|date=6 November 2014}}</ref> as a captain, winning only 4 Test matches and 23 ODIs. He was replaced as ODI captain by [[Ajay Jadeja]] and then by [[Sourav Ganguly]].
| |
| | |
| Ganguly became the regular captain of the team in both Tests and ODIs in 2000. He remained captain until 2005–06 and became the then most successful Indian captain, winning 21 of his 49 Test matches in charge and 76 of his 146 ODIs. Under his captaincy, India became the joint-winners of the [[2002 ICC Champions Trophy]] with Sri Lanka, and the runners-up of the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]]. India lost only three Tests at home under Ganguly and managed to draw Test series in England and Australia. [[Rahul Dravid]] took over as Test captain in 2005. In 2006, he led India to its first Test series victory in the West Indies in more than 30 years.
| |
| | |
| In September 2007, [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]] was named as the new captain of the ODI and [[T20I]] 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 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 Test captain, making him the captain in all formats. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Indian team held the number one position in the [[ICC Test Championship|Test 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]]. Thus, Dhoni became the first captain in history to win all three major ICC trophies, namely- ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. However, the team performed poorly in away Tests from 2011 to 2014 and Dhoni retired from Test cricket in December 2014, with [[Virat Kohli]] being named as the new Test captain. Dhoni resigned as captain of the ODI and T20 teams in January 2017 and Kohli succeeded him at the position.
| |
| | |
| Under Kohli's captaincy, India was unbeaten in 19 Test matches, starting from a 3–0 series win over New Zealand and ending with a 2–1 series win over Australia. India has an unbeaten streak of winning 9 consecutive Test series as of Dec 2017, starting with a 2–1 series win over Sri Lanka. India also became only the third team after Australia and South Africa to have won their most recent Test series simultaneously against all the other Test playing nations. As per winning percentage in Test matches, Kohli is India's most successful test captain, having won more than 61% of Test matches (at least 2 games).

| |
| | |
| Sachin Tendulkar, who began playing for India as a 16-year-old in 1989 and has since become the most prolific run-scorer in the history of both Test and ODI cricket, holds a large number of national batting records. He holds the record of most appearances in both Tests and ODIs, most runs in both Tests and ODIs and most centuries in Tests and ODIs. The highest score by an Indian is the 319 scored by [[Virender Sehwag]] in Chennai. It is the second [[List of Test cricket triple centuries|triple century in Test cricket]] by an Indian, the first being a 309 also made by Sehwag although against Pakistan. The team's highest ever score was a 759/7 against England at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai in 2016, while its lowest score was 36 against Australia in 2020.<ref>{{cite web |title=India all out for 36 - their lowest-ever Test score - as Australia romp to victory in series opener |url=https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12175/12166962/india-all-out-for-36-their-lowest-ever-test-score-as-australia-romp-to-victory-in-series-opener |website=skysports.com |access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref> In ODIs, the team's highest score is 418/5 against West Indies at Indore in 2011–12. India score 413–5 in a match against [[Bermuda cricket team|Bermuda]] in [[2007 Cricket World Cup|2007 World Cup]] which is the highest score ever in Cricket World Cup history. In the same match, India set a world record of the highest winning margin in an ODI match of 257 runs.
| |
| | |
| India has also had some very strong bowling figures, with spin bowler Anil Kumble being a member of the elite group of 3 bowlers who have taken 600 Test wickets. 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]].
| |
| | |
| Many of the Indian cricket team's records are also [[Test cricket records|world records]], for example Sachin Tendulkar's century tally (in Tests and ODIs) and run tally (also in both Tests and ODIs). Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 183 not out against Sri Lanka in 2005 is the world record score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs. The Indian cricket team also holds the record sequence of 17 successful run-chases in ODIs,<ref>{{cite web|url = http://content-www1.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/248029.html|title = Dravid rues faulty execution|work=Cricinfo Staff| access-date =21 September 2006|date = 21 May 2006}}</ref> which ended in a dramatic match against the West Indies in May 2006, which India lost by just 1 run when Yuvraj Singh was bowled by Dwayne Bravo's full toss.
| |
| | |
| Sachin Tendulkar was the first batsman to score 200 runs (he was unbeaten on 200 from 147 deliveries including 25x4 and 3x6) in a single ODI innings, on 24 February 2010 against South Africa in [[Gwalior]]. On 8 December 2011, this achievement was eclipsed by compatriot Virender Sehwag, who scored 219 runs from 149 deliveries (25x4 | 7x6) versus [[West Indies]] in [[Indore]]. On 13 November 2014 the record was broken by another Indian opening batsmen, [[Rohit Sharma]], who scored 264 runs from 173 deliveries (33x4 | 9x6) against [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] in Kolkata. In 2013, MS Dhoni became the first captain in history to win all three major ICC trophies- ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
| |
| | |
| In 2014, Virat Kohli became the first cricketer to win back-to-back man of the series awards in the [[2014 ICC World Twenty20]] and [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]]. In 2017, Ravichandran Ashwin became the fastest cricketer in history to reach 250 wickets. He and Ravindra Jadeja are considered to be the best bowlers in Test cricket and occupy the top two spots in the rankings for Test bowlers {{as of|2017|May|lc=y}}. Virat Kohli became the first captain in history to score double tons in three consecutive series, against New Zealand, England and Bangladesh in 2017.

| Due to the massive [[Indian diaspora]] in nations like Australia, England and South Africa, a large Indian fan turnout is expected whenever India plays in each of these nations.

| 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>

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 = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/243910.html|title = I predict a riot|work = Andrew Miller and Martin Williamson|access-date = 22 September 2006|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|publisher = 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.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} 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 [[Odisha cricket team|local player]] in the team, with one activist manhandling coach [[Greg Chappell]].<ref>{{cite news|title =Security concerns over Barabati Stadium's future|url =http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/indvwi/content/current/story/277430.html|date =24 January 2007|access-date =25 January 2007|publisher =[[Cricinfo]]|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 [[Philip DeFreitas]].<ref name="Sachinboo"/>

| A successful string of results, victories against arch-rivals Pakistan or victory in major tournaments such as the [[Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] are greeted with particular ecstasy from the Indian fans.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.tribuneindia.com/2004/20040402/sports.htm#5|title = The Entire Nation Erupts with Joy|work = The Tribune, Chandigarh|access-date = 20 September 2006|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>
