First Test of each Test playing nation

India

India played their first Test against England at Lords

India too started their Test campaign against England. The year was 1932 and the venue for the historic occasion for the Indian team was Lord's. The visiting team was led by C.K. Nayudu.

England were way too experienced in Test cricket and that reflected in the overall result of the match. The strong English team scored 259 in the first innings. The visitors could manage 189 handing a 70 run lead to the hosts.

The Indians struggled to bowl England out in the second innings and the hosts eventually declared their second innings for 275. India were bowled out for 187 in the fourth innings and England won the Test by a huge margin of 158 runs.

India, the sixth Test-playing nation, became the fifth nation to lose their first ever Test.
