Cricket was introduced to India by European merchant sailors in the 18th century , and the first cricket club was established in 1792 . India 's national cricket team did not play its first Test match until 25 June 1932 at Lord 's , becoming the sixth team to be granted test cricket status . From 1932 India had to wait until 1952 , almost 20 years for its first Test victory . In its first fifty years of international cricket , India was one of the weaker teams , winning only 35 of the first 196 Test matches it played . The team , however , gained strength in the 1970s with the emergence of players such as batsmen Gavaskar , Viswanath , Kapil Dev , and the Indian spin quartet . Traditionally much stronger at home than abroad , the Indian team has improved its overseas form , especially in limited-overs cricket , since the start of the 21st century , winning Test matches in Australia , England and South Africa . It has won the Cricket World Cup twice - in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev and in 2011 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni . After winning the 2011 World Cup , India became only the third team after West Indies and Australia to have won the World Cup more than once , and the first cricket team to win the World Cup at home . It also won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy , under the captaincy of MS Dhoni . It was also the joint champions of 2002 ICC Champions Trophy , along with Sri Lanka .

Old Trafford is a cricket ground in Old Trafford , Greater Manchester , England . It opened in 1857 as the home of Manchester Cricket Club and has been the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club since 1864 . From 2013 onwards it has been known as Emirates Old Trafford due to a sponsorship deal with the Emirates airline . Old Trafford is England 's second oldest Test venue after The Oval and hosted the first Ashes Test in England in July 1884 . The venue has hosted the Cricket World Cup five times ( 1975 , 1979 , 1983 , 1999 and 2019 ) . Old Trafford holds the record for both most World Cup matches hosted ( 17 ) and most semi-finals hosted ( 5 ) . In 1956 , the first 10-wicket haul in a single innings was achieved by England bowler Jim Laker who achieved bowling figures of 19 wickets for 90 runs - a bowling record which is unmatched in Test and first-class cricket . In the 1993 Ashes Test at Old Trafford , leg-spinner Shane Warne bowled Mike Gatting with the Ball of the Century . Despite its rich cricket history , the venue was perceived as dilapidated and lost test status in 2009 . Extensive redevelopment of the ground to increase capacity and modernise facilities commenced soon after in an effort to safeguard international cricket at the venue . The development entailed the restoration of the pavilion and creation of The Point , a £12 million stand overlooking the pitch . The pitch at Old Trafford has historically been the quickest in England , but will take spin later in the game .
Manchester ( /ˈmæntʃɛstər/ ) is a major city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester , England , with a population of 547,627 as of 2018 ( 5th most populous English district ) . It lies within the United Kingdom 's second-most populous urban area , with a population of 2.9 million , and second-most populous metropolitan area , with a population of 3.3 million . It is fringed by the Cheshire Plain to the south , the Pennines to the north and east , and an arc of towns with which it forms a continuous conurbation . The local authority for the city is Manchester City Council . The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Mamucium or Mancunium , which was established in about AD 79 on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell . It is historically a part of Lancashire , although areas of Cheshire south of the River Mersey were incorporated in the 20th century . The first to be included , Wythenshawe , was added to the city in 1931 . Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained a manorial township , but began to expand at an astonishing rate around the turn of the 19th century . Manchester 's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution , and resulted in it becoming the world 's first industrialised city . Manchester achieved city status in 1853 . The Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894 , creating the Port of Manchester and directly linking the city to the Irish Sea , 36 miles ( 58 km ) to the west . Its fortune declined after the Second World War , owing to deindustrialisation , but the IRA bombing in 1996 led to extensive investment and regeneration .
