From 19th September, Indian team will play a test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. Indian team's camp for this test match is going on in Chennai these days. Bangladesh team has also reached Chennai on Sunday night. Although in test cricket, match against Bangladesh team is rarely given so much importance but recently Bangladesh has done a big upset. Just before coming on this tour, Bangladesh team is coming after defeating Pakistan for the first time in its test history. That too not in one match but in two consecutive matches. The special thing is that they have achieved this victory by defeating Pakistan in its own home.

Victory by 10 wickets in the first test and victory by 6 wickets in the second. Obviously, now its morale is high against India.

Here, the Indian team is also fully prepared. When the Indian team was announced on 8 September, there was a little surprise. It seemed as if the team was announced against Australia and not Bangladesh. This is because the selectors have selected a full strength team against Bangladesh. Jaspreet Bumrah is also included in this team. Mohammad Shami will also be in the team going on Australia tour at the end of the year.

Apart from this, almost the same team will be selected for that difficult tour. Yes, for this, it is also important that Shami is fully fit first. This seriousness is being shown about the series against Bangladesh because the Indian team is preparing to create a big history in Test cricket.

If India wins the first test then it will create history

Indian cricket is about to reach a new milestone in its 92-year history. If the Indian team wins the first Test match in Chennai, then this will be the first time in India's Test history when the team will have more wins than losses.

That is, the number of wins will be more than the number of lost matches. The Indian team played its first Test match in 1932. After this, the Indian team has played 579 Test matches till now. In this, the Indian team has got 178 wins and 178 losses. That is, the number of wins and losses is equal.

222 matches of the Indian team ended without a decision of win or loss. With the first win against Bangladesh, India's win will become 179. This will be the first time in the 92-year history of Test cricket that the number of wins of the Indian team will be more than the number of losses.

The Indian team will achieve this special milestone under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. However, the credit for this also goes to the previous captains of India. In the matches played in the 19th century, the difference between the victory and defeat of the Indian team was almost half.

From 1932 to 2000, the Indian team won 63 Test matches and lost 112. But the picture has changed since 2001. Between 2001 and 2024, India has lost 66 matches while it won 115 Tests, i.e. almost twice as many. Now let us tell you about Pakistan as well. The condition of the Pakistan team is going to be exactly the opposite of this.

Pakistan started playing Test cricket in 1952. Currently, it has more wins and fewer losses. But now this gap has narrowed rapidly. Pakistan currently has 148 wins and 144 losses. But the difference before and after the year 2000 has to be understood. From 1952 to the year 2000, it had 77 wins and 66 losses. That is, the wins were more.

Since 2001, Pakistan has 71 wins and the number of losses has increased to 78. The misfortune of Pakistani fans is that in the month of October, England is coming to Pakistan to play three test matches. After this, Pakistan has to play 2 test matches against South Africa in their home. After losing to a team like Bangladesh, Pakistan's condition has become such that it is already seeing defeat in all these matches. If Pakistan's team loses all these matches, then it will have more losses and less wins in its account. That is, the situation will be completely opposite to India.

The records of the last 2 years show the plight of Pakistan

The condition of the Pakistan team has been bad for the last 2 years. From December 2022 till now, Pakistan has played 12 Test matches. In this, it has faced defeat in 8 Test matches. It has won only 2 Test matches. 2 Test matches have been drawn. During this period, the teams of England and Bangladesh have defeated Pakistan in its own home. On the contrary, let us also see the performance of the Indian team in the same period. From December 2022 till now, the Indian team has won 10 out of the 16 Test matches it has played. It has faced defeat in only 4 Test matches. 2 Test matches have been drawn. During this period, the Indian team has lost only 2 Test matches at home. Whereas it has also defeated countries like West Indies and South Africa in their home.

Let us also tell you how many teams in world cricket have won more matches than they have lost. This is a very interesting story. Australia, England and South Africa have more wins than losses. Australia has 414 wins against 232 losses. That means it has won almost twice as many matches as it has lost. England has won 397 Tests against 325. South Africa also has 179 wins against 161 losses. Pakistan is the fourth team in this list right now but the situation we have told you makes it clear that the Indian team will achieve this feat before the end of September. However, not only the players of Pakistan but the 'system' there is to blame for this. Which does not care how the shining history of Pakistan cricket is deteriorating day by day.
