India vs Australia Head to Head in Test Cricket; Check updated statistics up to 2024

India and Australia share one of the most intense rivalries in Test cricket, with a rich history spanning several decades. Their record, since 2024, is 107 Test matches between the two teams, with Australia leading the way with 45 wins to India’s 32.

While Australia has a generally stronger record, India has made significant progress in recent years, particularly on home soil.

The first Test between these two teams took place in 1947 and over time, the meetings became synonymous with memorable performances and dramatic series.

In fact, India have been remarkably successful in Australia in recent years, winning two consecutive Test series in 2018-19 and 2020-21, both by a 2-1 margin, a feat unthinkable for the Indian team on Australian soil .
