Journey that begun on February 10, 1952 at Chepauk.......

Here is a good news for Cricket lovers. India's climb to the NO 1 spot in the ICC Test rankings came one win after its 100th Test victory, a journey that begun on February 10, 1952, at Chepauk when the last England wicket fell to a catch by C D Gopinath. Nearly six decades later, Gopinath has become the sole surviving member of the playing 11 which won India its first test win. The significance of his contribution went unnoticed even on the day when India beat Lankans to record 100 Test wins. Presumably, no one thought any member of the squad was still alive.
