The Indian team has decimated England in the third match of the ongoing Test series. It was a special victory for India in Rajkot as the home side was playing with a very inexperienced batting unit. But the youngsters stepped up on the right occasion and proved their mettle in this massive victory. In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 biggest margins of victory (by runs) for India in Test matches.
1. 434 runs – India vs England, 2024
The most recent victory against England is the biggest-ever victory for Team India in terms of margin of runs. The hosts outplayed the visitors in every aspect of the game to register this historic win in a match which was very crucial in the context of the series. India registered a lead of more than 100 runs in the first innings and they built upon that lead in the second innings to set a humongous target for England to chase. India posted 557 runs as the target but the English run chase was wrapped up within two sessions resulting in India’s 434-run victory.
2. 372 runs – India vs New Zealand, 2021
The second in this list is the win against New Zealand by 372 runs. The first match of the 2-match Test series ended in a draw and it was a must-win match for India in Mumbai. The team responded to the occasion and put up a brilliant performance. It was a collective effort from the Indian team that propelled them to such a huge victory and a 1-0 win in the series.
3. 337 runs – India vs South Africa, 2015
South Africa is considered to be a competitive touring side but winning in India has become a much tougher task in the last decade or so. India had an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the 4-match Test series in 2015 when both teams reached Delhi for the last match of the series. The fourth Test in Delhi proved to be a no-match between India and South Africa as the home team outmuscled the Proteas to register a win by 337 runs which also helped them seal the series by 3-0.
