India and Australia share one of the most intense rivalries in Test cricket, with a rich history spanning several decades. Their head-to-head record, as of 2024, stands at 107 Test matches between the two teams, with Australia leading 45 wins to India's 32.
While Australia has a stronger record overall, India has made significant strides in recent years, particularly on home soil.
The first Test between these two teams took place in 1947, and over time, the encounters have become synonymous with memorable performances and dramatic series.
In fact, India has had remarkable success in Australia in recent years, winning two consecutive Test series in 2018-19 and 2020-21, both by a 2-1 margin, a feat that was previously unthinkable for the Indian team on Australian soil.
