India competed in the Davis Cup for the first time in 1921 but has yet to win the competition.

India has been a runner-up three times (1966, 1974, 1987). After India declined to participate in the final owing to the South African government's apartheid practices, the final was canceled in 1974, and South Africa was awarded the Davis Cup. With Vijay Amritraj and Anand Amritraj at their prime, India was a strong favorite to win.

The All India Tennis Association governs the India Davis Cup team, which competes in the Davis Cup tennis tournament.

The Davis Cup is an outlier. It is the world's most prestigious men's tennis competition. It's a prominent event that always delivers astonishing results and furious tennis. It's played in a knockout format amongst teams of players from rival countries.

It's no surprise that it's dubbed the 'World Cup of Tennis.' Despite the fact that it began in 1900 as a competition between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, it now includes 130 countries as of 2016.

The United States is the tournament's most successful country, having won 32 times and finished second 29 times. Following the United States on the honor roll are Australia and the United Kingdom. The defending champions are Andy Murray's Great Britain.

Despite the fact that India has yet to win the coveted tournament, the country has consistently put forth good performances, finishing third three times. Despite the fact that it lacks top-ranked singles players.
