The World Cup 1983 victory was one, NatWest Trophy Final was the other while India’s first Test win at Lord’s was also memorable. Team India first played a match at Lord’s back in 1932. However, they had to wait for 54 years to claim their first Test victory at the venue in 1986. Overall, in Tests, Team India haven’t had a great record, winning just three matches out of 19.

Lord’s remains a global cricketing pilgrimage site.
