The Indian Men's Cricket Team have already lost their series to New Zealand after losing the first two tests. With that, India's home test series wins ended. However, India still tops the list with 18 home series wins.
The 18th win came against Bangladesh after a 2-0 whitewash against them.
Here's the list of the top five teams with the most consecutive Test series wins at home
India leads the chart with 18 series wins, followed by Australia twice in the list, having 10 wins each time.
Rank | Team | Consecutive Series Wins | From | To |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | India | 18 | February 2013 | October 2024 |
2 | Australia | 10 | November 1994 | November 2000 |
2 | Australia | 10 | July 2004 | November 2008 |
4 | West Indies | 8 | March 1976 | February 1986 |
5 | New Zealand | 8 | December 2017 | January 2021 |
New Zealand | 8
New Zealand, standing 5th in the table, has 8 home series wins to their name. Starting from December 2017 to January 2021. The team led by Kane Williamson had a perfect combination with the likes of Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Ross Taylor, perfectly complementing the spin-friendly pitches, allowing the team to capitalize on the home advantage.
West Indies | 8
Once a terror in World Cricket, the time span of West Indian dominance in test cricket clearly defines the legacy of the team.
The Clive Lloyd-led team, having shoulders of greats like Viv Richards and bowling legend Malcolm Marshall, had its winning streak of 8 series at home from March 1976 to February 1986.
Australia | 10 each
Another ruling team in World Cricket that successfully carried forward their once-created legacy is Australia. Australia is in the chart twice, having 10 consecutive home series wins.
The first phase started from October 1994 to November 2000. A little gap in between, and then the winning streak continued from July 2004 to November 2008.
India | 18
After the Kanpur test win against Bangladesh, for the first time after 92 years of Test cricket history, India had more test wins than losses.
Not only that, India's series winning streak at home increased to 18, making it an undisputed contender amongst the world giants.
