Sports News: In the match played at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, India defeated West Indies by seven wickets. Although the probability of victory seemed clear from the outset, West Indies displayed some good play, which made Team India work a bit harder to achieve the win. With this victory, Team India has achieved a feat in the history of Test cricket that has only occurred once before. In essence, India has equaled a world record.
First Test Series Win under Shubman Gill's Captaincy
In this series, the Indian team, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, succeeded in winning a Test series for the first time. Previously, India had also played matches under Shubman Gill's leadership during their tour of England, but that series ended in a draw. This time, Team India completely dominated West Indies, securing a clean sweep against the opposing team.
Talking about previous encounters between India and West Indies, India has not lost any Test series since 2002. This is a unique record of its kind.
Equaling South Africa's World Record
With this victory, Team India achieved another major milestone. The record for the most consecutive Test series wins against a single opponent in Test cricket was previously held by South Africa. South Africa had defeated West Indies in 10 consecutive Test series from 1998 to 2025. Now, India has also achieved the feat of winning 10 consecutive Test series against West Indies.
In such a long history of Test cricket, only twice has a team defeated an opposing team in 10 consecutive Test series. This achievement has proven to be a moment of pride for Indian cricket.
Records of Other Teams
Following this achievement by the Indian team, Australia comes in second place. Australia defeated West Indies in 9 consecutive Test series from 2000 to 2022. Furthermore, Australia succeeded in defeating England in 8 consecutive Test series from 1989 to 2003. In addition, Sri Lanka defeated Zimbabwe in 8 consecutive Test series from 1996 to 2020. Thus, the Indian team's feat is considered a milestone in the history of Test cricket.
The Indian team's next challenge will be against South Africa. The South African team will tour India in November. Two Test matches will be played during this tour. The first match will be in Kolkata, and the second match will be in Guwahati.
