Indian cricket is the great combination of national and regional cricket teams. Every last state in India has its own regional cricket squad and all these squads participate in many tournaments like Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy. To be selected for the international level games, players from the regional cricket squads have to qualify and prove to be the best at the regional level. The highest authority in the country for the game is a body called The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) who has a host of responsibilities including selecting the national squad and decide on all matters involving sponsorship as well as role clarity of every player in the national cricket squad. Other than the national body called the BCCI, there are also state level cricket control governments that are in charge of overseeing the participants at the region level, and also groom them for handling future and higher responsibilities. It is evident that the state level cricket authorities are responsible in building and contributing towards the national squad and of late several headline-making participants have emerged like Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Pathan have been able to showcase their talent only with the backup of region level governments.

After that day Indian players never looked behind and went on making and breaking records.

Later in the year, the Indian squad won the initial test series against Pakistan. This was genuinely 1 of the most memorable moments in the history of cricket and the whole country rejoiced and since then, the squad has systematically improved its performance during the decade.
With the start of one-day international cricket since 1971, the game has developed a brand new order of magnitude. Initially India was not very strong in ‘one Day Internationals’, which ended in a consecutive number of lost games, therefore they did not manage to qualify for the second round in the first two cricket world cups. Every devotee of the squad knows the true spirit and intensity, which the Indian cricket team possesses. Perhaps it is the wholesome wishes of its supporters that made the Indian squad win the world cup in 1983 and it gave the country much to jubilate.
