    A look at India's Test record in England

    Since the World Test Championship final, India have been preparing for the five-match Test series against England. Team India recently competed in the warm-up match against Select County XI at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. India, who haven't won a Test series in England since 2007, would want to improve their record this time. Here are their Test numbers in England.

Besides, India last won a Test in England in 2018.
