Its been nearly a century and half that the first official test was played between England and Australia; then test playing giants. The test was played in 1877 in Australian continent. And soon the 2000th test is coming up. This however, will be played between England and India.
It will be the third time India will be featuring in any 100th tests. Earlier in 400th test ever played, India faced Pakistan in Karachi in 1954/55 season and it ended in a draw. Then in 1992, India played South Africa in Durban in test#1200 of the history.
It took over a century to play first 1000 tests (1000th test was played in 1984/85); while the next thousand would have been played in less than three decades.
