India made its debut as a Test-cricket-playing-nation in England in 1932 led by CK Nayudu.
The team performed well, with Mohammad Nissar taking 5-93 and 1–42 in the match against England. The match was given test status despite being only 3 days in length. England, batting first, scored 258 with Nissar cleaning up the openers and tailenders. However the Indian team failed to capitalize on their bowling performance, all out for 189 with CK Nayudu the top scorer with 40 runs. England went on to score 275 and set India a target of 346, which always seemed out of the visitor’s grasp. India were all out for 187 and lost by 158 runs.
India’s first ever Test victory came against England at Madras in 1952. India’s first series victory was against Pakistan later the same year.
India became a Test-playing nation in 1932. The Indian cricket team played its first Test match against England at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on June 25, 1932.
