5 astonishing cricket milestones achieved in Madhya Pradesh

#3 India vs New Zealand, 2016 – India play as World No. 1

Indians celebrate the fall of a wicket

Ask any diehard cricket fan and she/he will reiterate the commonly known fact: Test cricket is the hardest format of the game. Hence, when India reached the top spot, there was a feeling of pride in every Indian and the tickets for the match against New Zealand in Indore was the most sought after.

One of the most heart-warming and soul-satisfying sights for an Indian is watching their team play as the best nation in the world, and it becomes even sweeter when this happens after a gap of 7 years (the last time India were ranked World No. 9 was in 2009)!

Now, what made this even more memorable? Firstly, India had displaced Pakistan as the top-ranked nation, and secondly, they ended up winning the match by 321 runs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. A massive milestone in India’s rich cricketing history.
