India currently has a greater number of Test wins than losses, with 179 wins to 178 losses over 580 Tests, following a victory against Bangladesh in Chennai last month. Suresh Menon, a cricket journalist, examines India’s incredible rise to prominence in Test cricket.
There are times when people and circumstances come together to bring about change in every endeavor undertaken by humans.
This occurred in popular music with the Beatles, when four boys from the same location at the same time came together to develop a new sound.
In sports, these shifts are typically spearheaded by a lone player with a group of nearly equally skilled teammates surrounding him. It took place in it.
The fortunes of Indian cricket shifted with the entrance of a baby-faced Sachin Tendulkar. Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, and MS Dhoni were his supporting cast, and they were equally crucial to the change. A team of the greatest Indians of all time would include many.
Out of the 257 matches played, India had won just 43 Tests and lost more than twice that much before to Tendulkar’s debut in November 1989. The rest were tied.
During the Tendulkar era, India participated in 217 matches and won 78 of them, losing 60.
