Answer 2

On 31st December, 1600, East India Company was formed under a Royal Charter. In 1612, the British defeated the Portuguese in a battle in Surat and, gradually, both the British crown and the Mughal rulers allowed the Company to trade in India. Successively, trading outposts were set up in Surat (1619), Madras (1639), Bombay (1668) and Calcutta (1690).
The earliest reference to cricket being played in India was in Cambay, near Baroda, in 1721. The Calcutta Cricket and Football Club, or CC&FC, was known to be in existence in 1792. In 1864, a First Class match was played for the first time between Madras and Calcutta.
In view of the above, Cricket was introduced into India by the British traders belonging to the East India Company before the Company's rule effectively began in 1757.
