First Time Since 1932: India Create History With Victory Against Bangladesh In Chennai

India scripted history in Test cricket as they notched up their 179th victory in the longest format of the game.

The Indian cricket team ended its 92-year-long wait as it defeated Bangladesh in the first Test of the 2-match series in Chennai. The 280-run victory for India at Chepauk resulted in the team getting their number of wins tally above their tally of the number of losses incurred in the longest format of the game for the first time in history. India played their first-ever Test in 1932, under the leadership of CK Naidu, but incurred a 158-run defeat. Since that match, India had never managed to get their number of wins higher than the number of losses. India's win today means that for the first time in its Test cricket history (since 1932), it has more wins (179) than losses (178)!#IndvBan #IndvsBan

The victory against Bangladesh was India's 179th in Test history, with the number of losses being 178, from a total of 581 matches in the longest format of the game. 

Team India isn't the only side to have its number of wins in Tests above the number of losses. Australia, England, South Africa, and Pakistan are the other sides with a positive win-loss ratio.
