India has etched its name in an elite list after bagging the second Test against West Indies on October 14 and sealing a 2-0 series win. The win, a first for captain Shubman Gill and 122nd for India at home, makes it to the top 3 amidst elite cricketing nations who have a numbers of dominance on their home turf.

They have a win/loss ratio of 1.283, which rounds to a success rate of 35.2% on their home soil.
