Cricket and Indian Cricket Team players have an iconic status in India. If cricket is a passion then its players drive the passion to new grounds. The Indian cricket team selected by Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India represents the country in all the international circuits.

As per the records Indian Cricket Team made its first official tour in the year 1911 and played English County Cricket. In the year 1926, Indian Cricket team joined Imperial Cricket Council (ICC) today known as International Cricket Council.

Indian Cricket team in its first 50 years had players such as Ranjisinhji, KS Duleepsinhji CK Nayudu, Bhagwat Subramanya Chandrashekhar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, and Srinivas Venkatraghavan on its roll however it could not make substantial headways against international teams. It was in the 1970s when players such as Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Vishwanathan, Kapil Dev, Mohammad Azharuddin, and Dileep Vengaskar joined the team things changed substantially. This new young lot infused the much-needed vigor in the team. The world was stunned when India lifted the Cricket World Cup in 1983 in England.

Now there was no looking back for the team as it tasted its first roaring success. In the 90s the inclusion of players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Javagal Srinath, Anil Kumble, and Rahul Dravid made the Indian Cricket Team one of the most formidable ones. With this team India reached the finals of Cricket World Cup in 2003.

However in 2007 World Cup, the performance of the team was not up to the mark. Despite this setback the Indian cricket team is geared for new challenges with confidence and determination.
