    India extend their dominance in home Tests: Key stats

    What's the story

    India routed Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-match series after winning the 2nd Test by seven wickets.

    The hosts comfortably chased down 95 on Day 5 at Kanpur's Green Park.

    With this, India have claimed their 18th successive Test series at home, further extending their dominance.

    They haven't lost a Test series on home soil in over a decade.

    Here are the key stats.

    Streak

    Unbeaten in over a decade

    Although the home team always has an advantage over the visiting side, staying unbeaten for over a decade is no mean feat.

    In December 2012, England came from behind to win a rare Test series in India (2-1).

    India haven't allowed anyone to breach their home fortress ever since.

    The hosts now aim to extend this streak in the upcoming New Zealand series.

    Record

    Only four Test losses at home since December 2012 

    India have won each of the 18 Test series at home since losing to England (2012).

    They have beaten sides like Australia, West Indies, South Africa, England, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and New Zealand in this period.

    The Indians won 42 out of 53 home Tests in this period, having lost just four. As many as seven matches ended in a draw.

    Information

    India won Border-Gavaskar series under three different captains 

    India won the Border-Gavaskar series twice in this period at home. They routed Australia 4-0 in the 2013 series under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. In 2017, India claimed a remarkable series win (2-1) under Virat Kohli. 2023 saw the Rohit Sharma-led side beat Australia at home

    Information

    India's unbreakble record 

    No side other than India have won more than 10 back-to-back Test series at home. Australia have won 10 such Test series twice (1994-2000 and 2004-2008). West Indies and New Zealand have done this eight times.

    Feats

    Other feats attained by India

    India have won 13 of their 15 Test matches against Bangladesh without a defeat.

    As per ESPNcricinfo, only Sri Lanka (20 vs Zimbabwe) and New Zealand (17 vs Zimbabwe) have played more Tests against an opposition without losing.

    Notably, India haven't lost a Test series (home or away) since losing to South Africa in 2021/22.
