Eighty years ago, the Indian cricket team, under the captaincy of CK Nayudu, took the field at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London for the country’s first ever Test match.

India have come a long way since 1932. In 2009, it became the highest ranked Test team in the world only to lose their domination through some poor results in England last year. The 0-4 loss in England was followed by a 0-4 shellacking in Australia.
