Answer –Â 25 June 1932
India played its first Test match against England at Lord’s in June 1932. It was a historic moment for Indian cricket as they became the sixth team to play Test cricket after England, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, and New Zealand. The Indian team was led by CK Nayudu, a prominent all-rounder of that time. However, the team did not have a great start to their Test journey as they lost the match by 158 runs.
Despite the defeat, the Indian team received praise for their performance. They managed to score 219 in the first innings with a half-century from Lala Amarnath and took four wickets in England’s first innings. The match also saw the debut of India’s first-ever Test centurion, Lala Amarnath, who went on to score 118 runs in the second innings of the match. India’s first Test match marked the beginning of a new era in Indian cricket and laid the foundation for the team’s future successes in international cricket.
