indian cricket team

The Indian cricket team is the national cricket team of india. Governed by the board of control for cricket in india (BCCI), it is a full member of the international cricket council (ICC) with test and one day international (ODI) status.

Although cricket was introduced to India by European merchant sailors in the 18th-century and the first cricket club in India was established in calcutta in 1792, India's national cricket team did not play their first Test match until 25 June 1932 at lord's. They became the sixth team to be granted Test cricket status. In their first fifty years of international cricket, India proved weaker than australia and england, winning only 35 of the 196 test matches. The team, however, gained strength near the end of the 1970s with the emergence of players such as sunil gavaskar, kapil dev and the indian spin quartet — erapalli prasanna and srinivas venkataragavan (both off spinners), bhagwat chandrasekhar (a leg spinner), and bishen singh bedi (a left-arm spinner). Traditionally much stronger at home than abroad, the Indian team has improved its overseas form since the start of the 21st century. It won the cricket world cup in 1983 under Kapil Dev, was runner-up in 2003 under sourav ganguly, and won the World Cup a second time in 2011 under mahendra singh dohni. It thus became only the third team after west indies and Australia to have won the world cum more than once. It is also the first cricket team to win the World Cup on home soil. India has also been the runner-up in 2000 icc knockout trophy and the joint champion along with sri lanka in 2002 icc champions trophy, led by Ganguly in both the instances. India also won the inaugural world twenty20 under the captaincy of Dhoni in 2007.

The Indian cricket team is currently ranked fifth by the ICC in Tests, third in ODIs and T20Is. Currently,mahendra singh dohni is the captain in all forms of the game while duncan fletecher is the coach. Under the leadership of Dhoni, the Indian team has set a national record for most back-to-back ODI wins (nine straight wins) and has emerged as one of the most formidable teams in international cricket. The current team contains many of the world's leading players, including sachin tendulkar and virender sehwag, who hold numerous cricketing world records.

history

The origins of cricket lie somewhere in the Dark Ages - probably after the Roman Empire, almost certainly before the Normans invaded England, and almost certainly somewhere in Northern Europe. All research concedes that the game derived from a very old, widespread and uncomplicated pastime by which one player served up an object, be it a small piece of wood or a ball, and another hit it with a suitably fashioned club.

How and when this club-ball game developed into one where the hitter defended a target against the thrower is simply not known. Nor is there any evidence as to when points were awarded dependent upon how far the hitter was able to despatch the missile; nor when helpers joined the two-player contest, thus beginning the evolution into a team game; nor when the defining concept of placing wickets at either end of the pitch was adopted.

Etymological scholarship has variously placed the game in the Celtic, Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, Dutch and Norman-French traditions; sociological historians have variously attributed its mediaeval development to high-born country landowners, emigré Flemish cloth-workers, shepherds on the close-cropped downland of south-east England and the close-knit communities of iron- and glass-workers deep in the Kentish Weald. Most of these theories have a solid academic basis, but none is backed with enough evidence to establish a watertight case. The research goes on.

What is agreed is that by Tudor times cricket had evolved far enough from club-ball to be recognisable as the game played today; that it was well established in many parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey; that within a few years it had become a feature of leisure time at a significant number of schools; and - a sure sign of the wide acceptance of any game - that it had become popular enough among young men to earn the disapproval of local magistrates.

cricket

Cricket is a bat and ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the center of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings.


In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to test cricket played over five days. The laws of cricket are maintained by the international cricket council (ICC) and the marylebone cricket club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.

Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the british empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in australasias, england, the indian subcontienent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
