Since CK Nayudu's boys made their historic debut at Lord's in 1932, India had to wait for 20-long years to register the first-ever Test triumph. However, the first Test triumph on foreign soil came 16 years after the maiden Test win at Madras in 1952. The 1967-68 New Zealand was a path breaking series for MAK Pataudi's side as they not only won their first-ever overseas Test but also the same series. If that was the beginning, the twin series wins in west Indies and England catapulted Ajit Wadekar's side to the summit of Test cricket in 1971. Then came the crowning glory in limited overs cricket with Kapil's Devils dethroning the invincible Caribbean side to script the 2nd red-letter day in Indian cricket at Lord's on 25th June. That historic triumph set the ball rolling for Indian cricket on foreign soil as India registered a number of memorable Test wins alongside capturing ODI and T20 crowns in the subsequent years in all their rival countries- West Indies, England, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa.
