India’s Test record in England: Only 3 Indian Captains Have Won Test Series in England

India’s Test record in England: Only 3 Indian captains—Wadekar, Kapil Dev, and Dravid—have won a Test series in England. Will Shubman Gill join this elite list in the 2025 WTC cycle? Only 3 Indian captains have won Test series in England, Virat and Dhoni’s names are not in the list. The Indian team is going to start the new World Test Championship cycle (2025-27) with the Test series starting against England from June 20. Along with this, the Gill era (India Test captains’ history) will also begin in Indian Tests. After Rohit Sharma took off the white jersey, Shubman Gill was appointed the captain of the Indian Test team. Young Gill has a chance to create history in England.

The Indian team’s Test performance in England has been very disappointing. The Indian team has played 67 Tests in England so far and has won only 9. England has defeated India in 36 matches, and 22 matches were drawn. Team India has won only 3 Test series so far on England’s soil. Since 2007, the Indian team has not won any Test series in England. India’s most successful Test captain, Virat Kohli, has also not been able to win a Test series in England under his captaincy. Even the Indian team captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly, could not capture the Test series in England.
