	Indian cricket team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		India made its Test debut in England in 1932 led by CK Nayudu, and its first series as an independent country was in 1948 against Australia at Brisbane.
		India and the West Indies had cruised through the preliminary rounds in Group B while England and Pakistan emerged the victors from Group A. Both England and Pakistan, however, lost to their respective opponents (India beat England and the West Indies beat Pakistan).
