    Key Insights from India’s Innings Victories

    1. Recent Big Wins

    • India’s most recent innings victory came in October 2025, when they defeated West Indies by an innings & 140 runs at Ahmedabad.
    • Before that, they beat West Indies in July 2023 at Roseau by an innings & 141 runs.
    • These back-to-back dominant wins underline India’s supremacy against the Caribbean side in the 21st century.

    • Against Afghanistan (2018 Bengaluru): India won by an innings & 262 runs in Afghanistan’s debut Test.
    • Against Australia (1998 Eden Gardens): One of India’s early iconic big wins came by an innings & 219 runs, driven by Sachin Tendulkar’s batting masterclass.

    3. Consistency Across Decades

    India has delivered innings victories against almost every major Test nation, showing growth from the 1990s to today’s dominant era. Notably, all of India’s last five innings wins against West Indies (2013–2025) have come inside three days.

    India’s Standing Among World Records

    While England holds the all-time record for the largest Test win by an innings (innings & 579 runs vs Australia, 1938), India has carved out its own place by recording multiple innings wins above 200-run margins.

    • India has three innings victories of over 250 runs.
    • Against Asian rivals Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, India has dominated consistently with innings wins.
    • Their home fortress status is evident, but they have also secured commanding innings wins away (e.g., Roseau 2023 vs West Indies).
