India national cricket team
The India men's national cricket team, also known as

India
Team India or the Men in Blue,[10][11] represents India in
men's international cricket. It is governed by the Board of
Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and is a Full Member
of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test, One
Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International
(T20I) status.
Cricket was introduced to the Indian subcontinent by

British sailors in the 18th century, and the first cricket club Association Board of Control for
was established in 1792. India's men's national cricket team Cricket in India
played its first international match on 25 June 1932 in a
Lord's Test against England becoming the sixth team to be Personnel
granted Test cricket status. India had to wait until 1952, Captain Rohit Sharma
almost twenty years, for its first Test victory. In its first fifty

years of international cricket, success was limited, with
only 35 wins in 196 Tests.[12] The team, however, gained History
strength in the 1970s with the emergence of players like Test status 1931
Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil Dev, and the acquired
Indian spin quartet.

first men's Test series in the year 1933. England was the
visiting team that played two Tests in Bombay (now
Mumbai) and Calcutta (now Kolkata). The visitors won the
series 2–0. The Indian team continued to improve
throughout the 1930s and '40s but did not achieve an
international victory during this period. In the early 1940s,
India didn't play any men's Test cricket due to the World
War II. The team's first series as an independent country Test kit ODI kit T20I kit
was in late 1947 against Don Bradman's Australian cricket
team in England in 1948 (a As of 18 August 2023
name given to the Australia
national cricket team of that time). It was also the first Test series India played which
was not against England. Australia men's cricket team won the five-match series 4–
0, with Bradman tormenting the Indian bowling in his final Australian summer.[22]
India subsequently played their first Test series at home not against England, but
against the West Indies in 1948. West Indies won the five Test series 1–0.[23]
India recorded their first Test victory, in their 24th match, against England at Madras
in 1952.[24] Later in the same year, they won their first Test series, which was
against Pakistan.[25] They continued their improvement throughout the early 1950s
with a series win against New Zealand in 1956. However, they did not win again in
the remainder of the decade and lost badly to strong Australian and English sides.
On 24 August 1959, India lost by an innings in the Test to complete the only 5–0
whitewash ever inflicted by England.[26] The next decade saw India's reputation
develop as a team with a strong record at home. They won their first Test series
C. K. Nayudu, India's
against England at home in 1961–62 and also won a home series against New
first captain in Test
Zealand. They managed to draw home series against Pakistan and Australia and
cricket
another series against England. In this same period, India also won its first series
outside the subcontinent, against New Zealand in 1967–68.[27]
The key to India's bowling in the 1970s were the Indian spin quartet – Bishan Singh
Bedi, E. A. S. Prasanna, B. S. Chandrasekhar and Srinivasaraghavan
Venkataraghavan. This period also saw the emergence of two of India's best ever
batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath. Indian pitches have had the
tendency to support spin and the spin quartet exploited this to create collapses in
opposing batting line-ups.[28][29] These players were responsible for the back-to-
Elizabeth II with
back series wins in 1971 in the West Indies and in England, under the captaincy of
members of the Indian
Ajit Wadekar. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in the West Indian series while Dilip
team during the Indian
tour of England in 1952
Sardesai's 112 played a big part in their one Test win.[30][31][32]
One-day cricket and ICC Cricket World Cup success

(1970–1985)
The advent of men's One Day International (ODI) cricket in 1971 created a new
dimension in the cricket world. However, India was not considered strong in ODIs
at this point and batsmen such as the captain Gavaskar were known for their
defensive approach to batting. India began as a weak team in ODIs and did not
qualify for the second round in the first two editions of the Cricket World Cup.[33]
A graph showing India's Gavaskar infamously blocked his way to 36 not out off 174 balls against England in
Test match results the first World Cup in 1975; India scored just 132 for 3 and lost by 202 runs.[34]
against all Test match
teams from 1932 to In contrast, India fielded a strong team in Test matches and was particularly strong at
September 2006. home, where their combination of stylish batsmen and beguiling spinners were at
their best. India set a then Test record in the third Test against the West Indies at
Port-of-Spain in 1976, when they chased 403 to win, thanks to 112 from
Viswanath.[35] In November 1976, the team established another record by scoring 524 for 9 declared against
New Zealand at Kanpur without any individual batsman scoring a century.[36] There were six fifties, the highest
being 70 by Mohinder Amarnath.[37] This innings was only the eighth instance in Test cricket where all eleven
batsmen reached double figures.[38]
During the 1980s, India developed a more attack-minded batting line-up with stroke makers such as the wristy
Mohammad Azharuddin, Dilip Vengsarkar and all-rounders Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri. India won the Cricket
World Cup in 1983, defeating the favourites and the two-time defending champions West Indies in the final at
Lord's, owing to a strong bowling performance. In spite of this, the team performed poorly in the Test arena,
including 28 consecutive Test matches without a victory. In 1984, India won the Asia Cup and in 1985, won the
World Championship of Cricket in Australia. Apart from this, India remained a weak team outside the Indian
subcontinent. India's Test series victory in 1986 against England remained the last Test series win by India
outside the subcontinent for the next 19 years. The 1980s saw Gavaskar and Kapil Dev (India's best all-rounder
to date) at the pinnacle of their careers. Gavaskar made a Test record 34 centuries as he became the first man to
reach the 10,000 run mark. Kapil Dev later became the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket with 434 wickets.[39]
The period was also marked by an unstable leadership, with Gavaskar and Kapil exchanging the captaincy
several times.[40][41]
Late 20th century (1985–2000)
The addition of Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble to the national side
in 1989 and 1990 further improved the team. The following year, Javagal
Srinath, India's fastest bowler since Amar Singh made his debut. Despite
this, during the 1990s, India did not win any of its 33 Tests outside the
subcontinent while it won 17 out of its 30 Tests at home. After being
eliminated by neighbours Sri Lanka on home soil at the 1996 Cricket
World Cup semifinal, the team underwent a year of change as Sourav
Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, later to become captains of the team, made
their debut in the same Test at Lord's. Tendulkar replaced Azharuddin as
captain in late 1996, but after a personal and team form slump, Tendulkar
relinquished the captaincy and Azharuddin was reinstated at the
beginning of 1998.[43]
After failing to reach the semifinals at the 1999 Cricket World Cup,
Tendulkar was again made captain, and had another poor run, losing 3–0
With 619 wickets, Anil Kumble is the
on a tour of Australia and then 2–0 at home to South Africa. Tendulkar
world's fourth highest wicket-taker in
resigned, vowing never to captain the team again. Ganguly was

implicated in a match-fixing scandal and given life and five years bans
respectively. This period was described by the BBC as "the Indian
cricket's worst hour". However, the new core – Tendulkar, Dravid, Kumble and Ganguly – swore not to let this
happen to them again, and lead Indian cricket out of the dark times. The first three put aside personal ambitions
to let Ganguly lead them into a new era.[44]
21st century
The Indian team underwent major improvements under the captaincy of

Sourav Ganguly and guidance of John Wright, India's first foreign
coach.[45][46] In the Kolkata Test match, India became only the third
team in the history of Test cricket to win a Test match after following on.
Australian captain Steve Waugh labelled India as the "Final Frontier"
because of his side's inability to win a Test series in India.[47] In the year
2002, India were joint-winners of the ICC Champions Trophy with Sri
Lanka and then went to the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa,
Indian cricket team in action at where they reached the final, only to be beaten by Australia. A

convincing ODI series win in Pakistan in early 2006, following a loss in the Test series, gave India the world
record of 17 successive ODI victories while batting second.[48]
In September 2007, India won the first-ever ICC Men's T20 World Cup
held in South Africa, beating Pakistan by 5 runs in the final.[49] On 2
April 2011, India won the 2011 Cricket World Cup by defeating Sri
Lanka in the final, thus becoming the third team after West Indies and
Australia to win the World Cup twice.[50] India also became the first
team to win the World Cup on home soil.[51] India defeated England in
the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy Final and Dhoni became the first
men's cricket team captain in history to win the three major ICC trophies,
namely the Cricket World Cup, ICC Men's T20 World Cup and ICC
Champions Trophy.[52][53]
Indian players celebrating after
In the 2014 ICC Men's World Twenty20 hosted in Bangladesh, India taking a wicket against New Zealand
narrowly missed out on another ICC trophy by losing to Sri Lanka in the in 2010
final.[54] India was knocked out of the 2015 Cricket World Cup in the
semi-final to eventual winners Australia.[55] India then began 2016 by
winning the 2016 Asia Cup, remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament.[56] The team were favourites to
win the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, which was being held at home, but lost in the semi-final to eventual
champions West Indies.[57] India defeated Pakistan in their first game of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy but
lost to the same opponents in the final, the first time they had met at this stage of a tournament since 2007.[58][59]
The Indian team's next major global tournament was the 2019 Cricket World Cup where the team finished first
in the group stage with 7 wins and only 1 loss which came against host nation England.[60] They made the semis
but lost to New Zealand by 18 runs.[61] Rohit Sharma was the highest run-scorer for the team with 648 runs.
India played the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final against New Zealand in Southampton in which they
lost by 8 wickets.[62] India qualified for the semi-finals in the 2022 T20 World Cup, but lost to England by 10
wickets.[63]
2023, As per Aakash Chopra, in the last three years’ test, the current captain of team India had taken part in 18
matches and scored with a 42+ average, which is the highest average in test matches by an Indian batsman apart
from Rishabh Pant. Additionally, Indian young player Shubhman Gill played 16 matches and scored a 32
average; KL Rahul participated in 11 test matches and scored a 30 average; India’s test specialist Cheteshwar
Pujara played 28 matches and scored a 29 average; and similarly, the backbone of the Indian batting department,
Virat Kohli, has a 29 average after playing 25 matches. However, Ajinkya Rahne, who had been recalled for the
World Test Championship final on the basis of his IPL performance, has managed a 26 average after 20 matches
in the last three years of tests.
Governing body
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the governing body for the Indian cricket team and first-
class cricket in India. The Board has been operating since 1929 and represents India at the International Cricket
Council (ICC). Its headquarter is situated in the 'Cricket centre' at Churchgate, Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is
amongst the richest sporting organisations in the world. It sold media rights for India's matches from 2006 to
2010 for $612,000,000.[64] Roger Binny is present BCCI president and Jay Shah is secretary.
The International Cricket Council determines India's upcoming matches through its future tours program.
However, the BCCI, with its influential financial position in the cricketing world, has often challenged the ICC's
program and called for more series between India, Australia and England which are more likely to earn more
revenue as opposed to tours with Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.[65] In the past, the BCCI has also come into conflict
with the ICC regarding sponsorships.[66]
Selection committee
Selection for the Indian cricket team occurs through the BCCI's zonal selection policy, where each of the five
zones is represented with one selector and one of the members nominated by BCCI as the chairman of the
selection committee. This has sometimes led to controversy as to whether these selectors are biased towards their
zones.[67]
Until 18 November 2022, Chetan Sharma was the chief selector and Debashish Mohanty, Harvinder Singh and
Sunil Joshi were members. The entire panel was sacked after the unsuccessful performance of the team in 2022
ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[68]
On 7 January 2023, Chetan Sharma was again appointed as the chief selector along with Shiv Sunder Das,
Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, and Sridharan Sharath.[69]
On 17 February 2023, Chetan Sharma resigned from his post after a sting operation by a private news channel
saw him make several loose comments on the Indian team and Shiv Sunder Das replaced him and acted as an
interim chief selctor.[70]
On 4 July 2023, Ajit Agarkar was appointed as the new chief selector and replaced Chetan Sharma.[71] He
joined Shiv Sunder Das, Subroto Banerjee, Salil Ankola, and Sridharan Sharath on the selection committee.[72]
Team colours
India plays its test cricket matches with the traditional cricket whites with the caps and helmets being navy blue,
while the uniforms worn in limited-overs matches have different shades of blue for ODIs and T20s, which
sometimes has a splash of the colours which are present in Indian flag.[73]
During the 1992 and 1999 Cricket World Cups, the Indian team's kit was sponsored by ISC and ASICS
respectively,[74][75] but had been without an official kit sponsor till 2001. With no official kit sponsor for the
Indian team, Omtex manufactured the shirts and pants for the team, while some players chose to wear pants
provided to them by their individual sponsors like Adidas and Reebok till December 2005.
In December 2005, Nike outbid its competitors Adidas and Reebok, and acquired the contract for 5 years which
started in January 2006 ahead of Indian team's tour to Pakistan.[76] Nike was a long time kit supplier to team
India with two extensions for a period of five years each time; in 2011[77] and 2016[78] respectively.
After, Nike ended its contract in September 2020,[79] MPL Sports Apparel & Accessories, a subsidiary of online
gaming platform Mobile Premier League replaced Nike as the kit manufacturer in November 2020 ahead of
Indian team's tour to Australia, which was supposed to run until December 2023.[80][81]
In November 2022, MPL Sports decided to exit the deal before the end of their contract and hand over their
rights to Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited (KKCL).[82]
In January 2023, MPL appointed Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited (KKCL) and Killer Jeans (a brand owned by
KKCL) as interim sponsors till May 2023.[83][84]
In February 2023, it was announced that Adidas will begin a five year sponsorship deal in June 2023 ahead of
ICC World Test Championship final, replacing KKCL.[85]
In May 2023, BCCI officially announced Adidas as their kit sponsor for next five years running until March
2028.[86][87][88]

Locations of active international stadiums in India
There are numerous world-renowned cricket stadiums located in India. Most grounds are under the
administration of various state cricket boards as opposed to being under the control of the BCCI. The Bombay
Gymkhana was the first ground in India to host a full-scale cricket match featuring an Indian cricket team. This
was between the Parsis and the Europeans in 1877. The first stadium to host a Test match in India was also the
Gymkhana Ground in Bombay in 1933, the only Test it ever hosted. The second and third Tests in the 1933
series were hosted at Eden Gardens and Chepauk. The Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in Delhi was the first stadium
to host a Test match after independence, a draw against the West Indies in 1948, the first of a 5-Test series. 21
stadiums in India have hosted at least one official Test match. In recent years, there has been an increase in the
number of world-class cricket stadiums in India.[107][108]
India currently has the world's largest cricket stadium.[109][110] The Narendra Modi Stadium, is a cricket stadium
in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Eden Gardens in Kolkata has hosted the most Tests, and also has the third-largest
seating capacity of any cricket stadium in the world. Founded in 1864, it is one of the most historical stadiums in
India, having hosted numerous historical and controversial matches.[111][112] Other major stadiums in India
include the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, which was established in 1883 and hosted memorable matches
including Anil Kumble's ten wickets in an innings haul against Pakistan.[113]
The Bombay Gymkhana hosted the first Test match in India which is the only Test it has hosted to date.[114]
Wankhede Stadium, established in 1974, has a capacity to hold 33,000 spectators and is currently the most
popular venue in the city. It has hosted 24 Test matches. It was the unofficial successor of the Brabourne
Stadium, which is also located in Mumbai. Mumbai is often considered the cricketing capital of India because of
its fans and the talent it produces (see Mumbai cricket team) and thus the stadium regularly hosts major Test
matches.[115] The M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk is also considered to be an important historical
Indian cricket ground, established in the early 1900s, and it was the site of India's first Test victory.[116]
Captains
A total of 35 men have captained the Indian men's cricket team in at least one Test match, although only six have
led the team in more than 25 matches, and six have captained the team in men's ODIs but not Tests. India's first
captain of men's cricket team was C. K. Nayudu, who led the team in four matches against England: one in
England in 1932 and a series of three matches at home in 1933–34. Lala Amarnath, India's fourth captain of
men's cricket team and the first Indian to score a century in test cricket while playing for India, led the team in its
first Test match after Indian independence. He also captained the side to its first Test victory and first series win,
both in a three-match series at home against Pakistan in 1952–53. From 1952 until 1961–62, India men's cricket
team had a number of captains such as Vijay Hazare, Polly Umrigar and Nari Contractor.[117][118]
The Nawab of Pataudi, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, was the men's team's captain for 36 Test matches from
1961–62 to 1969–70, returning for another four matches against West Indies in 1974–75. In the early years of
his captaincy tenure, the team was whitewashed in the West Indies, England and Australia. However, in 1967–
68, Pataudi led India men's cricket team on its maiden New Zealand tour, which ended in India winning the Test
series 3–1.[119] In 1970–71, Ajit Wadekar took over the captaincy from Pataudi. Under Wadekar's captaincy,
India registered its first Test series win in the West Indies and England. India played its first men's ODI in 1974,
also under his captaincy.[120] India won its first men's ODI under the captaincy of Srinivasaraghavan
Venkataraghavan in the 1975 Cricket World Cup, against East Africa cricket team. Between 1975–76 and 1978–
79, Bishan Singh Bedi captained the team in 22 men's Tests and 4 ODIs, winning 6 Tests and one
ODI.[121][122]
Sunil Gavaskar took over as men's Test and ODI captain in 1978–79, leading India in 47 Test matches and 37
ODIs, winning 9 Tests and 14 ODIs. He was succeeded by Kapil Dev in the 1980s, who captained for 34 Test
matches, including 4 victories. Kapil Dev led India to victory in 39 of his 74 ODIs in charge, including the 1983
Cricket World Cup. Kapil Dev also captained India's 2–0 Test series victory in England in 1986. Between 1987–
88 and 1989–90, India had three captains in Dilip Vengsarkar, Ravi Shastri and Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
Vengsarkar took over the captaincy from Kapil Dev after the 1987 Cricket World Cup. Although he started with
two centuries in his first series as captain, his captaincy period was turbulent and he lost the job following a
disastrous tour of the West Indies in early-1989 and a stand-off with the Indian cricket board (BCCI).[123][124]
India has had six regular Test captains of men's cricket team since Mohammad Azharuddin took charge in 1989.
Azharuddin led the team in 47 Test matches from 1989–90 to 1998–99, winning 14, and in 174 ODIs, winning
90. He was followed by Sachin Tendulkar, who captained the men's cricket team in 25 Test matches and 73
ODIs in the late 1990s; Tendulkar was relatively unsuccessful[125][126] as a captain, winning only 4 Test
matches and 23 ODIs.
Sourav Ganguly became the regular captain of the men's team in both Tests and ODIs in 2000.[127] He remained
captain until 2005–06 and became the then most successful Indian captain, winning 21 of his 49 Test matches in
charge and 76 of his 146 ODIs. Under his captaincy, India became the joint-winners of the 2002 ICC
Champions Trophy with Sri Lanka, and the runners-up of the 2003 Cricket World Cup. India lost only three
Tests at home under Ganguly and managed to draw Test series in England and Australia. Rahul Dravid took
over as men's Test captain in 2005. In 2006, he led India to its first Test series victory in the West Indies in more
than 30 years.[128]
In September 2007, MS Dhoni was named as the new captain of the men's ODI and Twenty20 International
teams, after Dravid stepped down from the post. Soon after taking up the captaincy, Dhoni led the team to the
inaugural World men's Twenty20 title. Anil Kumble was appointed Test captain in November 2007, but retired
from international cricket in November 2008 after captaining in 14 Tests. Dhoni succeeded him as the men's Test
captain, making him the captain in all formats. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Indian men's cricket team held
the number one position in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings for 21 months (from November 2009 to August
2011), and set a national record for most back-to-back ODI wins (nine straight wins).[129] Dhoni also led the
team to victory in 2011 Cricket World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Thus, Dhoni became the first
captain in history to win all three major ICC trophies, namely- ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, ICC Men's T20
World Cup in 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.[130] However, the team performed poorly in away
Tests from 2011 to 2014 and Dhoni retired from Test cricket in December 2014, with Virat Kohli being named
as the new Test captain.[131] Dhoni resigned as captain of the ODI and T20I teams in January 2017 and Kohli
succeeded him at the position.[132]
Under Kohli's captaincy, India was unbeaten in 19 Test matches, starting from a 3–0 series win over New
Zealand and ending with a 2–1 series win over Australia. India also had an unbeaten streak of winning 9
consecutive Test series, starting with a 3–0 series win over Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and ending with a 1–0 series
win over Sri Lanka at home. India also became only the third team after Australia and South Africa to have won
their most recent Test series simultaneously against all the other Test playing nations. As per winning percentage
in Test matches, Kohli was India's second most successful Test captain, behind Ajinkya Rahane, having won
more than 58% of Test matches (at least 2 games).[133]
In November 2021, Rohit Sharma was appointed as the new T20I captain of the Indian men's cricket team after
Kohli resigned from the role.[134] Kohli led India one last time in T20Is at the T20 World Cup 2021. Under
Rohit's first series as permanent captaincy, India whitewashed New Zealand at home in the T20I series 3–0.[135]
In December 2021, Sharma was also appointed as the new ODI captain of the Indian men's cricket team,
replacing Kohli ahead of their away series against South Africa.[136] Kohli later quit as Test captain as well, after
their Test series loss to South Africa.[137] Sharma replaced Kohli as Test captain before the Test series against Sri
Lanka[138] and is now the Full-Time Captain of the Indian men's cricket team.

Individual records
Sachin Tendulkar, who began playing for India as a 16-year-old in 1989
and has since become the most prolific run-scorer in the history of both
Test and ODI cricket, holds a large number of national batting records.
He holds the record of most appearances in both Tests and ODIs, most
runs in both Tests and ODIs and most centuries in Tests and ODIs.[223]
The highest score by an Indian is the 319 scored by Virender Sehwag in
Chennai. It is the second triple century in Test cricket by an Indian, the
first being a 309 also made by Sehwag although against Pakistan. The
team's highest ever score was a 759/7 against England at MA
Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai in 2016, while its lowest score was 36
against Australia in 2020.[224] In ODIs, the team's highest score is 418/5
against West Indies at Indore in 2011–12. India score 413–5 in a match
against Bermuda in 2007 World Cup which is the highest score ever in
Sachin Tendulkar celebrating his
Cricket World Cup history. In the same match, India set a world record
38th Test century during a match
of the highest winning margin in an ODI match of 257 runs.[225] against Australia in 2008. He holds
multiple world records including the
India has also had some very strong bowling figures, with spin bowler
world's leading run-scorer and
Anil Kumble being a member of the elite group of 4 bowlers who have century maker in both Tests and
taken 600 Test wickets.[226] In 1999, Anil Kumble emulated Jim Laker ODIs.[222]
to become the second bowler to take all ten wickets in a Test match
innings when he took 10 wickets for 74 runs against Pakistan at the
Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi.[227][228]
Many of the Indian cricket team's records are also world records, for example Sachin Tendulkar's century tally
(in Tests and ODIs) and run tally (also in both Tests and ODIs).[229] Dhoni's 183 not out against Sri Lanka in
2005 is the world record score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs.[230] The Indian cricket team also holds the record
sequence of 17 successful run-chases in ODIs,[231] which ended in a dramatic match against the West Indies in
May 2006, which India lost by just 1 run.[232]
Tendulkar was the first batsman to score 200 runs (he was unbeaten on 200 from 147 deliveries including 25
fours and 3 sixes) in a single ODI innings, on 24 February 2010 against South Africa in Gwalior.[233] On 8
December 2011, this achievement was eclipsed by compatriot Virender Sehwag, who scored 219 runs from 149
deliveries (25 fours and 7 sixes) versus West Indies in Indore.[234] On 13 November 2014 the record was broken
by another Indian opening batsmen, Rohit Sharma, who scored 264 runs from 173 deliveries (33 fours and 9
sixes) against Sri Lanka in Kolkata. In 2013, Dhoni became the first captain in history to win all three major ICC
trophies- ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy in
2013.[235][236][237][238]
In 2014, Kohli became the first cricketer to win back-to-back man of the series awards in the 2014 ICC World
Twenty20 and 2016 ICC World Twenty20. Kohli is also the highest scorer in T20Is as of November 2022.[239]
In 2017, Ravichandran Ashwin became the fastest cricketer in history to reach 250 wickets.[240]
Fan following
Owing to the massive Indian diaspora in nations like Australia, England and South Africa, a large Indian fan
turnout is expected whenever India plays in each of these nations. There have been a number of official fan
groups that have been formed over the years, including the Swami Army or Bharat Army,[241] the Indian
equivalent of the Barmy Army, that were very active in their support
when India toured Australia in 2003/2004. They are known to attribute a
number of popular Indian songs to the cricket team.[242]
Fan rivalry and cross-border tension has created a strong rivalry between
the Indian and the Pakistani cricket teams. In tours between these two
nations, cricket visas are often employed to accommodate for the tens of
thousands of fans wishing to cross the border to watch cricket. This

match between India and Australia at
However, there are downsides to having such a cricket-loving
the Melbourne Cricket Ground
population. Many Indians hold cricket very close to their hearts and
losses are not received well by the Indian population. In some cases,
particularly after losses to Pakistan or after a long string of weak performances, there have been reports of player
effigies being burnt in the streets and vandalism of player homes.[244] In many cases, players have come under
intense attention from the media for negative reasons, this has been considered one of the reasons for Sourav
Ganguly being left out of the Indian team. At times, when a match is surrounded by controversy, it has resulted
in a debacle. For example, when India slid to defeat against Australia at Brabourne Stadium in 1969, fans began
throwing stones and bottles onto the field as well as setting fire to the stands, before laying siege to the Australian
dressing rooms. During the same tour, a stampede occurred at Eden Gardens when tickets were oversold and
India fell to another loss; the Australian team bus was later stoned with bricks.[245] A similar event occurred
during the 1996 Cricket World Cup, where India were losing the semi-final to Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens. In
this case, the fan behaviour was directed at the Indian team in disappointment at their lacklustre performance. An
armed guard had to be placed at the home of captain Mohammad Azharuddin to ensure his safety.[245] Indian
fans have also been passionate in their following of Sachin Tendulkar, who has been commonly thought of as
one of the best batsmen in the world. Glorified for the bulk of his career, a riot occurred in early 1999 in a Test
against Pakistan at Eden Gardens after a collision with Pakistani paceman Shoaib Akhtar saw him run out,
forcing police to eject spectators and the game to be played in an empty stadium. Although in 2006, a string of
low scores resulted in Tendulkar being booed by the Mumbai crowd when he got out against England.[246]
Often, fans engage in protests regarding players if they believe that

regionalism has affected selection, or because of regional partisan
support for local players. In 2005, when Sourav Ganguly was dropped
from the team, Ganguly's home town Kolkata erupted in protests.[249]
India later played a match against South Africa in Kolkata, West Bengal.
The Indian team was booed by the crowd who supported South Africa
instead of India in response to Ganguly's dropping.[250] Similar regional
divisions in India regarding selection have also caused protests against
the team, with political activists from the regional Kalinga Kamgar Sena
party in Odisha disrupting the arrival of the team in Cuttack for an ODI
over the lack of a local player in the team, with one activist manhandling
coach Greg Chappell.[251] Similar treatment was handed to Sunil
Gavaskar in the 1987 World Cup Semi Finals by crowds at Wankhede
Stadium when he got bowled by Phillip DeFreitas.[246]
A successful string of results, especially victories against the arch-rival

Pakistan or victories in major tournaments such as the World Cup are Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary, a fan of
greeted with particular ecstasy from the Indian fans.[252][253][254] the Indian cricket team, travels to all
Indian home games with his body
painted as the Indian flag.[247][248]
