India National Cricket Team

Bat-and-Ball Sports

The India national cricket team represents India in international Test, One Day International and Twenty20 cricket, administered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and one of the most successful and, by broadcast audience and commercial value, the most financially significant national team in the sport, having won multiple ICC Cricket World Cup titles across formats, including the 1983 World Cup victory widely credited with catalyzing cricket's mass popularity in India. Playing in blue, the team has fielded some of the sport's most celebrated batsmen, including Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in both Test and ODI cricket history, and Virat Kohli, and its domestic Indian Premier League has become the most commercially significant Twenty20 cricket competition in the world.
