After a historic victory over Australia in the second Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Delhi, Team India now leads by 2-0.
On Sunday, February 19 in Delhi, the hosts not only claimed the first two victories but also made history. With the victory in the Delhi Test, Team India scored its 32nd test victory against Australia, which is the most against any team.
By the end of Day 2, Australia was 62 runs ahead of India, and India was behind the eight balls. India recovered thanks to Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, going from 85/2 to 113 all out. The hosts successfully chased down the target and prevailed by 6 wickets.
As India defeated Australia in Nagpur for the first game of the series, Team India and England each had 31 victories over Australia in 131 matches dating back to 1932.
India has defeated Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and the West Indies 22 times apiece. India has a 15-game winning streak over South Africa, followed by Bangladesh (11), Pakistan (9), Zimbabwe (7), and Afghanistan (1).
If India wins the remaining two games in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, they will enhance the amount of victories they have over Australia. India is just one step away from competing in the WTC championship. In the event that New Zealand defeats Sri Lanka 2-0, Australia will also go to the summit match, even if they ultimately lose the series 4-0.
Even if Sri Lanka wins one game, they would not be able to advance to the championship game, where India will play Australia from June 7 to 11.
