Glorious moments of the Indian history!
As Indian Test cricket has reached great heights, there are a lot of matches that have gained a lot of popularity. Ever since India made their test debut against England in 1932, they haven’t stopped. When India won their back-to-back Test match against West Indies and England in 1971, they made history. India won against West Indies by 1-0 when the hosts were playing under Sir Gary Sobers. That was an iconic moment for India as it was a 5-match test series and they defeated them in their backyard.
Next was the match against England where India chased 170+ runs in the fourth innings, which eventually led them to win the Test series. Apart from that, the ODI World Cup 1983 was another important moment in the history of India. Under Kapil Dev’s captaincy, the most underrated team of the tournament, went on to win the World Cup. That was the start of the Indian Cricket era.
