India National Cricket Team history
Cricket was first introduced to India in the 18th century by British sailors and the first recorded cricket match in India was played in 1721. Initially, cricket was very elitist and the European colonizers would not play against the native Indians. However, after a slow start, in 1877 the Europeans invited a team from Bombay's Parsi community to play a match. Even though cricket has been played in India for a while, the India National Cricket Team did not play their first international match until 1932 when they took in England at the home of cricket - Lords. India had to wait almost twenty years before the team recorded its first Test victory. Since then, however, India has gone on to become one of the most successful and best national cricket teams. The team is traditionally stronger at home as they play on slower, dusty pitches. However, India have won test series abroad against the likes of England, South Africa and Australia. The India National Cricket Team has also won the Cricket World Cup twice (1983 & 2011) and has also won the World Twenty20 (2007) and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
