History of cricket in India from 1970-71 to 1985

This article describes the history of cricket in India from the 1970-71 season until 1985.

Events

Bombay continued its dominance of Indian domestic cricket with only Karnataka and Delhi able to mount any kind of challenge during this period.

India enjoyed two international highlights. In 1971, they won a Test series in England for the first time ever, surprisingly defeating Ray Illingworth's Ashes winners. In 1983, again in England, India were surprise winners of the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
