Cricket History - India's First Test Match At International Level

By Cricketnmore Editorial June 13, 2025 • 10:40 AM View: 10372

Team India Cricket History: India played their first Test match in 1932. The Maharaja of Porbandar led the squad, while his brother-in-law Kumar Shri Limbdi was vice-captain. Neither was a great cricketer, and decided to sit out on most matches. CK Nayudu was India's captain for all practical purposes, including the solitary Test match.

The Indians did well on the tour, winning nine matches, drawing nine, and losing eight despite the hectic schedule. Since they were not used to playing continuously, the Indians picked up injuries towards the end of the summer.
