It conducts all the domestic tournaments in India and select the players for the India national cricket team and the India women's national cricket team to represent India at international cricket.

International cricket in India does not follow a consistent pattern and is spread throughout the calendar year, unlike the Australian and English cricket teams who tour other countries during their respective winter and play at home during their respective summer. The India cricket team is one of the most successful cricket teams in the world, having won 2 Cricket World Cups, 3 T20 World Cups, 3 Champions Trophies and finishing runners-up twice in World Test Championships.

Cricket is often portrayed patriotically in popular Indian films, including the Academy Award-nominated film, ''Lagaan'', and ''83'', the 2021 sports drama film about India's Cricket World Cup victory in 1983. The Indian cricket team shares a long-standing rivalry with the Pakistan cricket team, and India-Pakistan matches are some of the most anticipated matches in the world, and one of the most watched television broadcasts in the world.

== History == {{See also|Sport in British India}} Cricket was brought to India in the early 1700s, with the first documented instance of cricket being played in 1721. At the time of its introduction, it served as a medium for Indians to integrate into British cultural norms.<ref>Dominic Malcolm, Globalizing Cricket: Englishness, Empire and Identity (Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2014).</ref> By serving as a bridge between the two groups, it facilitated assimilation. During its early years in India, the sport was played by Indian elites to gain favour with the British. This association with the elite increased the sport's value and popularity across the country.<ref>Miller, Aaron. "NATION AT PLAY: A History of Sport in India." Pacific Affairs 91, no. 2 (06, 2018): 414-415.</ref> Although it began as a foreign sport, the sport ultimately became associated with India and began to play a role in India's identity. In the late 1800s, cricket's image began to shift from being an exclusively upper-class sport as players from lower castes and underprivileged communities began to play and make their mark.<ref>Hillman, Ben. The China Journal, no. 53 (2005): 196–97. https://doi.org/10.2307/20066022. </ref>

=== 1800s to 1918 === {{Main|History of cricket in India to 1918}} [[File:Ranjitsinhji_c1900.jpg|thumb|Ranjitsinhji was regarded as one of the best batsmen of his time.|237x237px]] The first ever match of first-class cricket played in India was in 1864 between Calcutta and Madras (now Chennai). Not many records exist from the match. The entire history of cricket in India and the sub-continent as a whole is based on the existence and development of the British Raj via the East India Company.

=== 1918 to 1945 === {{Main|History of cricket in India from 1918–19 to 1945}} {{See also | Retrievers cricket team | Freelooters Cricket Team |Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament}} India became the sixth national team to play Test cricket on their 1932 tour of England. Captained by C. K. Nayudu, their inaugural Test was against England at Lord's Cricket Ground from 25 to 28 June, but they were defeated by 158 runs.<ref>[https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/155211.html The All India team in England 1932]. Wisden Almanack Archive via ESPNcricinfo. Retrieved 8 December 2023.</ref>

=== 1945 to 1960 === {{Main|History of cricket in India from 1945–46 to 1960}} {{See also | Sport in India}} The major and defining event in the history of Indian cricket during this period was the Partition of India following full independence from the British Raj in 1947.

An early casualty of change was the Bombay Quadrangular tournament, which had been a focal point of Indian cricket for over 50 years. The new India had no place for teams based on ethnic origin. As a result, the Ranji Trophy came into its own as the national championship. The last Bombay Pentangular, as it had become, was won by the Hindus in 1945–46.

India also recorded its first Test victory in 1952, beating England by an innings in Madras.<ref name="SC">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1157_cricket_history/page6.shtml |title=BBC World Service. Story of Cricket |publisher=BBC |access-date=2012-06-16}}</ref>

=== 1960 to 1970 === {{Main|History of cricket in India from 1960–61 to 1970}} One team totally dominated Indian cricket in the 1960s. As part of 14 consecutive victories in the Ranji Trophy from 1958–59 to 1972–73, Bombay won the title in all ten seasons of the period under review. Among its players were Farokh Engineer, Dilip Sardesai, Bapu Nadkarni, Ramakant Desai, Baloo Gupte, Ashok Mankad and Ajit Wadekar. The Duleep Trophy was inaugurated as a zonal competition in the 1961–1962 season. It was named after Ranji's nephew, Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji (1905–59). With Bombay in its catchment, it is not surprising that the West Zone won six of the first nine titles.

=== 1970 to 1985 === {{Main|History of cricket in India from 1970–71 to 1985}} Bombay ( now Mumbai) continued to dominate Indian domestic cricket, with only Karnataka, Delhi, and a few other teams able to mount any kind of challenge during this period.

India enjoyed two international highlights. In 1971, they won a Test series in England for the first time ever, surprisingly defeating Ray Illingworth's Ashes winners. In 1983, India were surprise winners of the 1983 Cricket World Cup, in England, under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Kapil Dev was also most known for the "Viv Richards Catch", scoring 175 not out, ( the first ODI century by an Indian), and breaking the World Record of Glenn Turner's 171. 183 is the lowest score ever defended in a world cup final.

During the 1970s, the Indian cricket team began to see success overseas beating New Zealand, and holding Australia, South Africa and England to a draw. The backbone of the team was the Indian spin quartet – Bishen Bedi, E. A. S. Prasanna, B. S. Chandrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan, giving rise to what would later be called the Golden Era of Indian cricket history. This decade also saw the emergence of two of India's best ever batsmen, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Vishwanath responsible for the back-to-back series wins in 1971 in the West Indies and in England, under the captaincy of Ajit Wadekar.

The Indian women's team made its test debut in 1976, becoming the third nation to do so. It made its ODI debut on 1 January 1978.

=== 1985 to 2000 === {{Main|History of cricket in India from 1985–86 to 2000}}

In the late 1980s, British networks broadcast continuous live coverage of overseas matches. This was a major factor in shaping what was now becoming the modern game of cricket. Modern technology and the establishment of specialized television networks fostered global interest for the sport. ESPN and Star Sports added cricket to their 24-hour of continuous live coverage. Global popularity increased in the Eastern world. The Indian Premier League, a domestic league was established soon after.

During the 1980s, India developed a more attack-focused batting line-up with talented batsmen such as Mohammad Azharuddin, Dilip Vengsarkar and Ravi Shastri prominent during this decade. Despite India's victory in the Cricket World Cup in 1983, the team performed poorly in the Test arena, including 28 consecutive Test matches without a victory. However, India won the Asia Cup in 1984 and won the World Championship of Cricket in Australia in 1985. The 1987 Cricket World Cup was held in India and Pakistan – the first time it was played outside England.

From the 1993–94 season, the Duleep Trophy was converted from a knockout competition to a league format.

Several team names and spellings were altered during the 1990s when traditional Indian names were introduced to replace those that were associated with the British Raj. Most notably, Bombay became Mumbai and the famous venue of Madras became Chennai.

Despite its arrival in the 1700s, cricket's popularity grew steadily as it spread across regions. It became a unifying factor in the country, transcending social and cultural barriers.<ref>Khalid, Adeeb. "Cricket Country: An Indian Odyssey in the Age of Empire. by Prashant Kidambi,. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019. Viii, 423 Pp. ISBN 9780198843139." The Journal of Asian Studies 79, no. 4 (11, 2020): 1045-1046. doi:https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021911820002788.</ref> The sport was initially popular amongst the elite, but it began to transcend as people from lower castes came together to play, watch, and engage with the sport. Post-independence, cricket continued to flourish and became an integral part of the nation's fabric, particularly in its rivalries, the most prominent of which is India v Pakistan. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) emerged as a pivotal force, steering the sport toward globalization. Technology also played a crucial role by increasing accessibility, bringing live cricket matches into homes and amplifying its reach and impact.<ref name="Khondker, H. H. 2018">Khondker, H. H., & Robertson, R. (2018). Glocalization, consumption, and cricket: The Indian Premier League. Journal of Consumer Culture, 18(2), 279-297.</ref>

A significant change in cricket's globalization in India came with success on the international stage. Victories in major tournaments aided in global reach, but a tipping point occurred in the win of 1983 Cricket World Cup.<ref>Nadkarni, Shiresh. “New Master of ‘Instant’ Game.” New Straits Times, June 28, 1983.</ref> This tournament was led by Kapil Dev, with Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar also becoming prominent figures in the sport's growing popularity during this period. These players came from backgrounds outside the traditional upper-class elite, emerging as cultural icons who represented the dreams and aspirations of Indians and foster fostering a great sense of pride.<ref name="Mustafa, Fahad 2013">Mustafa, Fahad. “Cricket and Globalization: Global Processes and the Imperial Game.” Journal of Global History 8, no. 2 (2013): 318–41. doi:10.1017/S1740022813000247.</ref> Their success on the global stage in a post-colonial India resonated deeply with India as it evoked pride and honor which many had not felt in a long time.<ref name="Mustafa, Fahad 2013"/>

In addition to the increased sense of nationalism which aided in its globalization, cricket mirrored the changing socio-political landscape of India. By shifting a once elite sport into something accessible to the masses, the sport echoed societal transformations with the rise of the middle class.<ref>Guha, Ramachandra. “Cricket and Politics in Colonial India.” Past & Present, no. 161 (1998): 155–90. http://www.jstor.org/stable/651075.</ref> Cricket became a vessel for social mobility and offered opportunities and hope to people across India regardless of their religion, caste, or social standing. With the increased popularity of the sport in India, especially in the 1980s, international satellite television networks began broadcasting cricket because of its global audience and the newly emerged market of viewers in India.<ref>Bateman, Jerram, and Tony Binns. "More than Just a Game?: Grass Roots Cricket and Development in Mumbai, India." Progress in Development Studies 14, no. 2 (2014): 147-61.</ref> In order to secure their place, these networks negotiated broadcasting rights with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) which gave the BCCI an immense amount of wealth which further aided in the globalization of cricket.

In addition to its spread through television, its globalization has a direct link to India's increase in consumerism. As the sport became increasingly popular in India in the 1980s into and 1990s, India experienced a rapid expansion of both televised and billboard advertising.<ref name="Khondker, H. H. 2018"/> As a result, it became common for various teams and individual cricket players to promote various consumer goods which aided in its globalization.

[[File:Sachin Tendulkar at MRF Promotion Event.jpg|thumb|left|Sachin Tendulkar is one of the greatest cricketers of all time. He is known as the 'God of Cricket'.|199x199px]]

Sachin Tendulkar was one of the key members during 1989–2013 for Team India in multiple formats.

Since 2000, the Indian team underwent major improvements with the appointment of John Wright, India's first ever foreign coach. This appointment met success internationally as India maintained their unbeaten home record against Australia in Test series after defeating them in 2001 and won the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007. India was also the first sub-continental team to win at the WACA in January 2008 against Australia.

India's victory against the Australians in 2001 marked the beginning of a dream era for the team under the captainship of Sourav Ganguly, winning Test matches in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies and England. India were joint winners with Sri Lanka in the ICC Champions Trophy and reached the final of the 2003 Cricket World Cup only to be beaten by Australia.

== Organisation of cricket in modern India ==

===International cricket===

International cricket in India generally does not follow a fixed pattern. Unlike the English schedule under where England tours other countries during their winter and plays at home during their summer. Generally, there has recently been a tendency to play more one-day matches than Test matches. Cricket in India is managed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the richest cricket board in the cricket world.<ref>{{cite news|title=Complimentary passes restricted for Delhi Test|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-south-africa-2015-16/content/story/942807.html|access-date=12 December 2015|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=21 November 2015}}</ref>

The Indian team continued to improve throughout the 1930s and 1940s but did not achieve an international victory during this period. In the early 1940s, India did not play any men's Test cricket due to World War II. The team's first series as an independent country was in late 1947 against Don Bradman's Australian cricket team in England in 1948 (a name given to the Australia national cricket team of that time).

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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/team-india-on-the-brink-of-odi-record-at-vizag-remain-torchbearers-of-50-over-format/story-B1DIaBOhWX4DP2chPHzk6M.html|title=Team India on the brink of ODI record at Vizag, remain torchbearers of 50-over format|access-date=24 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181024113206/https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/team-india-on-the-brink-of-odi-record-at-vizag-remain-torchbearers-of-50-over-format/story-B1DIaBOhWX4DP2chPHzk6M.html|archive-date=24 October 2018|url-status=live|date=23 October 2018}}</ref> Gavaskar infamously blocked his way to 36 not out off 174 balls against England in the first World Cup in 1975; India scored just 132 for 3 and lost by 202 runs.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sunny's World Cup go-slow|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sunil-gavaskar-s-indian-world-cup-go-slow-500411|access-date=6 January 2022|work=ESPNcricinfo|archive-date=6 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220106022910/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sunil-gavaskar-s-indian-world-cup-go-slow-500411|url-status=live}}</ref> In contrast, India fielded a strong team in Test matches and was particularly strong at home, where their combination of stylish batsmen and beguiling spinners were at their best.

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. *'''T20 International'''- India played there first T2O International in 2006 against South Africa.

===Domestic Cricket===

====Men's Domestic Cricket====

=====First class competitions===== * '''Ranji Trophy''' – It was founded as the 'Cricket Championship of India' at a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in July 1934. The first Ranji Trophy fixtures took place in the 1934–35 season. Syed Mohammed Hadi of Hyderabad was the first batsman to score a century in the tournament. The Trophy was donated by H. H. Sir Bhupendra Singh Mahinder Baha-dur, Maharajah of Patiala in memory of his late Highness Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji of Nawanagar, affectionately called Ranjitsinhji. In the main, the Ranji Trophy is composed of teams representing the states that makeup India. The number of competing teams has increased over the years. Some states have more than one cricket team, e.g., Maharashtra and Gujarat. There are also teams for Railways and Services representing the armed forces. The various teams used to be grouped into zones – North, West, East, Central and South – and the initial matches were played on a league basis within the zones. The top two teams until 1991–92 and then the top three teams in the subsequent years from each zone then played in a national knock-out competition. Starting with the 2002–03 season, the zonal system was abandoned and a two-division structure was adopted with two teams being promoted from the plate league and two relegated from the elite league. If the knockout matches are not finished, they are decided on the first-inning lead.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Ranji Trophy? Definition of Ranji Trophy, Ranji Trophy Meaning |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/definition/ranji-trophy |access-date=2023-11-13 |website=The Economic Times |language=en}}</ref> *'''Duleep Trophy''' – Named after Duleepsinhji, the Duleep Trophy competition, which is a first-class competition, was started by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 1961–62 with the aim of providing a greater competitive edge in domestic cricket, because apart from the knock-out stages of the Ranji Trophy, that competition proved to be highly predictable, with Bombay winning the Ranji Trophy for fifteen consecutive years. The Duleep Trophy was also meant to help the selectors to assess the form of top cricketers playing against each other. The original format had five teams, which were drawn from the five zones (i.e. North, South, East, West and central) and played each other on a knock-out basis. From the 1993–94 season, the competition has been converted to a league format. *'''Irani Trophy''' – The Irani Trophy tournament was conceived during the 1959–60 season to mark the completion of 25 years of the Ranji Trophy championship and was named after the late Z. R. Irani, who was associated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from its inception in 1928, till his death in 1970 and a keen patron of the game. The first match, played between the Ranji Trophy champions and the Rest of India was played in 1959–60. For the first few years, it was played at the tail end of the season. Realising the importance of the fixture, the BCCI moved it to the beginning of the season. Since 1965–66, it has traditionally heralded the start of the new domestic season. The Irani Trophy game ranks high in popularity and importance. It is one of the few domestic matches followed with keen interest by cricket lovers in the country. Leading players take part in the game, which has often been a sort of selection trial to pick the Indian team for foreign tours.

Starting in 2018–19 it has featured India A, India B and India C. *'''Vijay Hazare Trophy''' – Named after the prolific Indian cricketer Vijay Hazare, the Trophy was started in 2002–03 as an attempt to bring the limited-overs game among a greater audience.

The final was played between Punjab and Tamil Nadu, which the latter won by 2 wickets with 2 balls remaining, thereby becoming the only ever winner of this series. In this series, Rohit Sharma also became the only ever Indian to register a T20 century for Mumbai against Gujarat. The competition was later replaced by the franchise-based IPL. Played for the first time in the 2008–09 season, this is the first of its kind zonal T20 championship and the third overall in the Indian cricket season, which would see Ranji teams divided along zonal lines into two groups with the tournament culminating in the All India T20 final between the winners of the two groups for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It was launched after the success of the IPL and the need of the BCCI to search for more talent in the growing regions of cricket.
