History

India Red were first formed in 2008, as India Senior, to compete in the inaugural edition of the 50 over Senior Women's Challenger Trophy, a triangular tournament with teams made from the best players in India. Jhulan Goswami was announced as the captain for the opening season. [2] They started their season disappointingly by losing against India A by 31 runs, in the inaugural match of the tournament. [3] Although they won their next match against India B, they did not qualify for the final and finished bottom of the league. [4] [5]

In the following season, the team were renamed to India Red and competed in the 2009–10 Senior Women's T20 Challenger Trophy, where they again finished bottom of their group. [6] 2010–11 saw a return to the 50 over format, with Reema Malhotra as the team captain. [7] [8] The side once again finished bottom of the league, with no wins. [9] India Red saw improvement in the next season, as they clinched the tournament title for the first time by defeating India Blue by 41 runs. [10]

They also qualified for the final in the next three seasons playing against the same opponent, but lost each time. They lost by 60 runs in the 2012–13 season, while in the following season, they lost thrillingly by 8 runs. [11] Smriti Mandhana captained the India Red in the 2015 season, as the team won every match of the group stage before losing in the final. [12]

The 2016–17 season saw India Red regain their title, beating India Blue in the final by 7 wickets helped by 62* from Mandhana. [13] [14] After again finishing bottom of the group in 2017–18, the side reached the final of both the 50 over and returning 20 over tournaments, winning the 50 over title but losing the 20 over title. [15] [16] In 2019–20, the 50 over Challenger Trophy was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the T20 Challenger Trophy was competed with different teams. [17]
