India vs England Test Series: The Indian team is going to start preparing for the last match of the Test series against England. The squad for this has also been announced by BCCI today itself. Although there have not been many changes in it, which were already expected, much has happened the same. Meanwhile, on March 7, when the Indian team will face England in Dharamsala, it will have a chance to perform a miracle. What has never happened in the history of Indian cricket can happen now. For this only one victory is required.
Indian team lost more and won less tests
The Indian cricket team has faced defeat in more matches than it has won in the history of Test cricket so far. But now this picture may also change. If the Indian team succeeds in defeating England in Dharamsala, then it will have a chance that for the first time the number of won and lost matches will be equal. Keep in mind that here we are talking about Test cricket. Till now only 4 teams in the world have been successful in doing this and the Indian team can be the fifth.
These teams won more and lost less matches
Let us first talk about those teams which have won more matches and lost less. The England team has so far won 392 matches in Tests and has faced defeat in 323. Talking about Australia, till now it has won 412 test matches and has lost only 232. After this comes South Africa, till now it has won 178 matches and lost 161. Even Pakistan’s name comes in this list. Pakistan cricket team has won 148 matches and had to face defeat in 142. This list ends here.
The number of India’s won and lost matches may be equal.
Now let’s talk about the Indian cricket team. India played its first test match in 1932. Since then, the Indian team has played 578 matches. Out of these, it has won 177 and lost 178. In these 92 years, it has never happened that the number of matches won by the Indian team was more and the number lost was less. Even if it happens, it still won’t be achieved, but it is certain that the number of matches won and lost can definitely be equal. That means India has won 177 matches and as soon as it wins the next match, its number will increase to 178, the number of lost matches is also the same.
No relaxation expected even in the last match
Now it will be interesting to see whether the Indian team is able to do so by winning the Dharamsala Test. The series may have been won, but even after this the effort should be to defeat the British in the last match also. This will not only create a new record, which we just told you about, but along with this, the Indian team can also get an advantage in the points table of the World Test Championship, which will be very useful in the future. From the team announced by BCCI for the last match, it does not seem that the Indian team will give any kind of relaxation, but everything will depend on how the players play during the match.
