New Delhi. The cricket teams of India and England will clash in the fourth Test match of the 5-match series from Friday in Ranchi. After winning the last two test matches, the Indian team is ahead 2-1 in the series. If Team India is successful in winning the Ranchi Test match, then it will capture the Test series at home for the 17th consecutive time. India last lost a Test series at home in 2012 under the captaincy of Alastair Cook. Since then Team India is invincible on home soil. India’s record in Tests at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi is excellent. It will not be easy for the England team to defeat the hosts at this venue.
The Indian team has lost only 4 matches out of the last 49 Tests played at home. During this period he won 38 tests while 7 ended in a draw. Team India is at number one in terms of consecutive series wins at home in Test cricket. After India, comes Australia, which had made the record of winning 10 consecutive Test series twice at home.
