Cricket in India :- :

Cricket in India :- GOVERNING BODY :- BO Board of Control for Cricket in India. (BCCI). NATIONAL TEAM :- India. NICKNAME :- Men in Blue. FIRST PLAYED :- 1721. COMETITIONS :- NATIONAL :- Cricket World Cup, ICC Twenty 20 , ICC Champions Trophy, Under 19 Cricket World Cup, Women’s Cricket World Cup. CLUB :- Indian Premier League, Ranji Trophy, Challengers Trophy.


Before 1918 :- 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 . In 1721, the first definite reference to cricket being played anywhere in the sub-continent is a report of English sailors of the East India Company playing a game at Cambay, near Baroda. The Calcutta Cricket and Football Club is known to be in existence by 1792, but was possibly founded more than a decade earlier. In 1799, another club was formed at Seringapatam in south India after the successful British siege and the defeat of Tipu Sultan . In 1864, a Madras v. Calcutta match was arguably the start of first-class cricket in India. The most important fixture in the 19th century was the Bombay Presidency Match which evolved, first, into the Bombay Triangular and then into the Bombay Quadrangular . The match was first played in 1877 and then intermittently for several seasons until finally being given first-class status in 1892-93.An English team led by George Vernon in 1889-90 was the first foreign team to tour India but none of the matches that it played are considered first-class. First-class cricket definitely began in the 1892-93 season with two Europeans v Parsees matches at Bombay (match drawn) and Poona (Parsees won by 3 wickets). In the same season, Lord Hawke captained an English team that played four first-class matches including a game against "All India" on 26–28 January 1893. HISTORY :-

Slide 5:

1918 to 1945 :- The Ranji Trophy was launched as India's national championship following a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in July 1934 and the competition began in the 1934-35 season. The trophy was donated by the Maharajah of Patiala but named after KS Ranjitsinhji ("Ranji"), even though he barely played any of his cricket in the country. Ranji had died on 2 April 1933. The first winner was Bombay.

Slide 6:

1945–46 to 1960 :- 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-ever Bombay Pentangular, as it had become, was won by the Hindus in 1945-46.

Slide 7:

1960–61 to 1970 :- One team totally dominated Indian cricket in the 1960s. As part of 15 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. In the 1961-62 season, the Duleep Trophy was inaugurated as a zonal competition. 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.

Slide 8:

1970–71 to 1985 :- Bombay continued its dominance of Indian domestic cricket with only Karnataka and Delhi and some other team which were 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, again in England, India were surprise winners of the 1983 Cricket World Cup .

Slide 9:

1985–86 to 2000 :- 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 . In India Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy became famous. India has got the chance to take tour with many countries like Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, New Zealand, England, South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe. Most of the tours were won by India. All the matches were played in India.

Slide 10:

21st century :- The BCCI tinkered with the Duleep Trophy in the 2002-03 season. The original zonal teams were replaced by five new teams called Elite A, Elite B, Elite C, Plate A and Plate B. These teams were constructed from the new Elite Group and Plate Group divisions which had been introduced into the Ranji Trophy that season. However, this format lasted for only one season as it was felt that the new teams lacked a sense of identity. From the 2003-04 season, the five original zonal teams competed along with a sixth guest team which was a touring foreign team. The first guest team was England A in 2003-04. Mumbai has continued its dominance of the domestic scene into the 21st century by winning the Ranji Trophy five times in the first decade. India won the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007.India was the first Sub-continental team to win a Test match at the WACA in January 2008 against Australia. India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011, the first time since 1983 - they beat Sri Lanka in the final held in Mumbai .







Organization of Cricket in Modern India :-:

International Cricket :- International cricket in India generally does not follow a fixed pattern. For example, the English schedule under which the nation tours other countries during winter and plays at home during the 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. Indian International Cricket Squad has also provided some of the greatest players to the world. Indian cricket has a rich history. The Indian national team is currently ranked the no. 1 team in test cricket as well as the no.2 team in one day international cricket. Organization of Cricket in Modern India :-

Domestic Competitions :- BCCI Corporate Trophy - BCCI have set up a 12 team inter-corporate tournament which will involve all the top Indian cricketers. The tournament will involve 50-over-a-side matches with the winner picking up Rs1crore and the runner up getting Rs50 lakh. Duleep Trophy - The Duleep Trophy competition, 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 predictable, with Bombay winning for fifteen consecutive years. The Duleep was also meant to help the selectors in assessing form. The original format was that five teams, drawn from the five zones, play each other on a knock-out basis. From the 1993-94 season, the competition has been converted to a league format.

Since its conception, Tamil Nadu and Mumbai have won the trophy twice each. It is also dubbed as the Premier Cup by BCCI. It now joins Deodhar Trophy as the second one-day competition of Indian domestic circuit. 7. Deodhar Trophy - Started in 1973-74 by Board of Control for Cricket in India , it is the current one-day cricket competition in Indian domestic cricket. 5 zonal teams - North zone, South zone, East zone, West zone and Central zone feature in the competition.

Inter-State T20 Championship - After India became another member of the ICC Twenty20 and played its first international T20 against South Africa, BCCI launched its own state structure in 2006-07 season, with 27 Ranji teams divided in 5 Zones. The final was played between Punjab and Tamil Nadu, which the latter won by 2 wickets and 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 a franchise-based IPL .

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy - To be played for the first time in the 2008-09 season, this will be 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.
