1.New Zealand
New Zealand made history by playing their first-ever test series in India during the 1995/96 season. The hosts ended up winning the five-match series 2-0. It took many tries, but the Black Caps finally achieved a milestone by winning their first-ever test series on Indian soil in 2024.
Under the leadership of Tom Latham, New Zealand dominated the Asian Giants in the first two tests of the three-match series. The visitors crushed the hosts in the Bengaluru test by 8 wickets and in the Pune test by 113 runs.
2.South Africa
In 1996/97, South Africa toured India for the first time for a three-match test series, which they unfortunately lost 1-2.
However, the Proteas redeemed themselves when they returned for a two-match test series in 1999-2000. They shocked the hosts by winning the opening test in Wankhede by four wickets, and then dominated the Bengaluru test with a win by an innings and 74 runs.
South Africa ended up whitewashing the Asian Giants 2-0, marking a historic victory for the team.
3.Pakistan
It wasn't until 1986-87 that Pakistan secured their first test series victory in India. The series, consisting of five matches, saw the first four tests ending in draws. However, Pakistan clinched the fifth test in Bengaluru by a narrow 16-run margin.
4.Australia
The test cricket rivalry between India and Australia is always a thrilling spectacle. Both countries have produced some incredible players who have given us some unforgettable matches. In recent years, the competition between the two nations has only grown more intense.
Australia has had some impressive victories in India, with test series wins in 1956, 1959, 1969, and 2004. Their last triumph on Indian soil was in 2004 when they clinched a 2-1 victory in the four-match test series.
However, it's been twenty years since Australia last managed to win a test series in India.
5.West Indies
The West Indies were the kings of test cricket for many years in the 20th century. They were unstoppable, winning five test series in India in 1948, 1958, 1966, 1974, and 1983.
Their first test series in India was in 1948-49, and they came out on top with a 1-0 victory in the five-match series. The West Indies' last triumph in India was in 1983.
6.England
The England cricket team has achieved success in India by winning five test series against India. Their initial victories came in 1933, 1976, 1980, and 1984. However, it wasn't until 2012 when Alastair Cook led the team to a 2-1 victory over MS Dhoni's squad, marking their first test series win in India in nearly three decades.
Unfortunately, after their triumph in 2012, England faced three consecutive series losses in India.
