India national cricket team

The Indian cricket team, also known as Team India and Men in Blue, is the national cricket team of India. Governed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) with Test and One Day International (ODI) status.

Although cricket was introduced to India by European merchant sailors in the 18th century, and the first cricket club in India was established in Calcutta 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. 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 Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath, all-rounder Kapil Dev and the Indian spin quartet.

Traditionally much stronger at home than abroad, the Indian team has improved its overseas form 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 Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy. 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 has won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, under the captaincy of Dhoni. It was also the joint champions of 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, along with Sri Lanka.

In Blue

In Blue is the third album by Irish Celtic folk rock band The Corrs, released in 2000 which saw the band become known in the United States. The title of the album comes from a lyric in the song "Give Me a Reason". As well as the UK number one single "Breathless", the album also contains new versions of "Radio" and "At Your Side" which had previously appeared on their previous album The Corrs Unplugged. Mutt Lange co-wrote three songs from the album and Tim Martin was the engineer for the album's tracks for their recordings at Westland Studios and Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin.

Several of the tracks were used in various television programmes and films: "Rebel Heart" as the theme for the TV miniseries of the same name; "One Night" in Mad About Mambo; "At Your Side" in Say It Isn't So and the trailer for the film The Holiday; and "All the Love in the World" in the film America's Sweethearts.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    In Blue

    by: Deborah Gibson

    Summer's over and my dear so is he
    Over me now oh so suddenly
    Onward downward cared so much it scared him
    I wanted to walk peacefully
    But in dramatic fashion out of hurt and passion's sword
    At his feet both hands pulled the cord
    Chorus:
    I guess he likes me in blue
    Those tears they make him feel like a man
    After I gave all that I am
    He loves to see me cry
    Thought we would grow old together
    But at the first sign of bad weather
    He left me holding the shoe
    Midnight my prince he just flew
    I guess he likes me in blue
    Tried to hold on
    But it pulled me under
    Left to wonder
    Is there something wrong with me?
    Said 'No baby'
    But I don't believe it
    'Cause his actions spoke ever so clearly
    And oh
    Out of foolish pride
    As he veered
    I stood by his side
    Chorus
    Bridge:
    Say it isn't so
    Say I have my pride
    My big sin you ask
    Is I tried, I tried
    Lovers on death row
    Destined for the fall
    When did that wind blow?
    We could've had it all.
    Chorus
