India faced a suffered a humbling defeat against Australia in the second Test at the Adelaide Cricket ground. After a great win in at the Optus Stadium in Perth, the management would have hoped for a similar show in the second game.
This was India's fifth defeat in 2024 and this is the most for them in a calendar year in the last six years. This marks a new low in the recent history of Indian team in Test cricket. If we take a look at the record of the Indian team since 2019, then this is the highest number of defeats faced by them in a year.
Let us take a look at the record of Indian team in Test cricket since 2019.
India's Record In Test Cricket Since 2019
| Year | Matches Played | Matches Won | Matches Lost | Draw | Losing % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 13 | 8 | 5 | 0 | 38.46 |
| 2020 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 75 |
| 2021 | 14 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 21.42 |
| 2022 | 7 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 42.85 |
| 2023 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 37.50 |
| 2019 | 8 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0.00 |
Analysing The Data
So, if we look at the record of the Indian team in the last five years, we will see that India have lost the most matches in 2024. However if we take a look at losing percentages, then it ranks as the fourth worst in the last six years.
But the fact that India have faced a clean sweep at their home in 2024 adds to their disgrace. Also, inconsistency in the team's performance is something that has raised concern amongst the fans. If we look beyond the numbers and look the performance of the team as a whole in Test cricket in 2024, then we will find that it is one of the lowest the Indian team has reached in the last six years.
