Image
The bat and ball game named Cricket was introduced to India by the British in the 18th century. The Indian national cricket team's first captain was C.K.

From 1932 India had to wait until 1952, almost 20 years, for its first Test victory against England in their 24th match in Madras, against England. In its first five decades of international cricket, India was one of the weaker teams, winning only 35 of the first 196 Test matches it played. The team, however, gained strength in the 1970s with the emergence of players such as Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, and the spin unit.

ODI cricket asks for temperament and intent to take your team through!! If some player even plays 60-70 balls and makes some crucial runs for his team. That itself is a big thing to pull off.
