Indian National Cricket Team

India National Cricket Team 

The India men's national cricket team, also known as Team India or the Men in Blue, represents India in men's international cricket. It is governed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and is a Full Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) status.

India's national cricket team played its first Test match on 25 June 1932 at Lord's, 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, 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, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, and the Indian spin quartet.

India has won five major ICC tournaments. The team has won the Cricket World Cup twice (1983 and 2011), the ICC T20 World Cup once (2007) and the ICC Champions Trophy twice (2002 and 2013) and have also finished as runners-up in the Cricket World Cup once (2003), the T20 World Cup once (2014), and the Champions Trophy twice (2000 and 2017).

They have also won the ACC Asia Cup seven times (1984, 1988, 1990–91, 1995, 2010, 2016, 2018) and have also finished as runners-up thrice (1997, 2004, 2008). The team also won the 1985 World Championship of Cricket, defeating Pakistan in the final. India have also won the ICC Test Championship Mace five times and ICC ODI Championship Shield one time.
