For the first time in India’s Test cricket history, it boasts more wins than losses. India secured a dominant 280-run victory over Bangladesh on Day 4 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, marking a historic moment. This win brings India’s Test record to 179 wins and 178 losses after 580 matches.
Heading into the first Test of this multi-format series, India had an equal number of wins and losses in the red-ball format.
India played its inaugural Test match in 1932 against England at Lord’s, led by C.K. Nayudu, though it ended in a 158-run loss. India’s first Test win came in 1952 against England at the same venue in Chennai, where it now celebrated its 179th victory.
