IND Vs ENG: The image of Team India has completely changed in the last 25 years in the Test format. Team India has a chance to make history in the Dharamsala Test against England from March 7. If Team India manages to clinch victory in Dharamsala, it would be India’s 178th victory in Test cricket. Team India is all set to play the 578th Test match in Dharamshala.
However, Team India made progress in Test matches only after 2000. Team India’s record in Tests up to 200 was very poor. Team India had suffered 112 defeats in 200 Test matches. Till 2000, Team India won only 61 games. But after that, Team India performed very well in test matches. Now Team India has 177 wins in Test matches. India have suffered 178 defeats in Test matches. There was no result in 222 games. This record shows how India has made tremendous progress in the last 25 years.
Team India hasn’t lost at home in 12 years
Furthermore, India have not lost a series at home since 2012. The last time Team India was defeated by England on Indian soil was in 2012. But India have yet to suffer a home defeat since then. During this period, Team India has defeated a strong team like Australia at home twice.
Despite the absence of senior players in the Test series against England, Team India’s winning streak continued. India suffered a defeat in the first Test. After that, Team India made a strong comeback and won three Tests in a row. Even before the Dharamsala Test, India had taken a 3-1 lead in the five-Test series.
