Some recent history / record : by Mohandas M.
India's most recent defeat in a bilateral Test series against Australia occurred ten years ago, during the 2014/15 season. They lost the four-match series 0-2 in Australia, marking a significant low point for the Indian team during their overseas campaigns.
However, India has made a remarkable comeback since then, winning their last four bilateral Test series against these rivals. This success includes two series won on home soil (in 2016/17 & 2022/23), where they showcased their dominance, and two victories achieved away (in 2018/19 & 2020/21), demonstrating their ability to perform in challenging conditions.
This turnaround highlights India's resilience and strength in Test cricket over the past decade against these formidable opponents, especially in their home conditions.
Since the #BoxingDay Test in 2014, the Indian cricket team has played in 10 Test matches on Australian soil, achieving a commendable record of 4 victories, 2 losses, and 4 draws. The table below shows that India has the best result record among all the visiting sides in Australia.
The last 10 Tests in Australia for visiting sides:
Ind won 4, lost 2, drawn 4 (2.00)
SAf won 3, lost 4, drawn 3 (0.75)
WI won 1, lost 7, drawn 2 (0.14)
NZ won 1, lost 8, drawn 1 (0.13)
Eng won 0, lost 8, drawn 2 (0.00)
SL won 0, lost 9, drawn 1 (0.00)
Pak won 0, lost10, drawn 0 (0.00)
This marked a significant turnaround for the Indian team, especially considering the challenging period before, during which they faced a tough stretch from the Boxing Day Test 2011.
During that timeframe, India suffered six consecutive Test defeats in Australia, highlighting the obstacles they had to overcome in subsequent years to establish a more competitive presence in the challenging Australian conditions.
