Almost 5 years after gaining independence from the British, India registered their first-ever Test win against England in June 1952. The historic achievement took place in the fifth Test in Chennai, where the Independent Indian team registered an innings and 8-run victory over England. Skipper Vijay Hazare, Vinood Mankad, Pankaj Roy, Polly Urmigar, Ghulam Ahmed, Dattu Phadkar, and Lala Amarnath played a pivotal role in helping India clinch their first-ever Test victory as an independent nation.
