The Indian cricket team has finally achieved a milestone 92 years in the making while defeating Bangladesh by 280 runs in Chennai on Sunday.

After defeating Bangladesh, the Indian team’s Test wins have exceeded the number of defeats.

For the first time in 92 years, India has won more matches than it has lost in Test cricket. The Indian team has 179 victories in Test matches, and has been defeated in 178 Test matches.

India played its first Test in 1932 under the leadership of CK Naidu, but lost by 158 runs.

Since that match, India has never been able to increase the number of matches it has won more than the number of matches lost, but now, after 92 years, it has been done.

This record is currently held by only five teams who have more wins than losses. Apart from India, Australia, England, South Africa, and Pakistan have achieved this honour.

Pakistan achieved this milestone in the first three years of Test Cricket.
