India’s cricketing prowess continues to shine, especially when it comes to their remarkable record against the West Indies in Test matches. On October 14, 2025, India secured yet another win against the Caribbean side, extending their unbeaten streak against the West Indies to 27 matches, stretching back to 2002. With this victory, India also made it 10 consecutive series wins against the West Indies, marking a truly impressive achievement in world cricket.
India’s Unbeaten Run Against the West Indies Continues
The second Test match in New Delhi saw the West Indies put up a brave fight in their second innings. However, India’s dominance proved too much for the visitors as the hosts chased down a target of 124 runs with ease, winning by seven wickets. KL Rahul was the standout performer for India, scoring an unbeaten 58 runs and guiding the team to victory. His knock helped India secure yet another series win, maintaining their unbeaten run against the West Indies for an astounding 23 years.
Since 2002, India has never lost a Test series to the West Indies. In fact, they have won 10 consecutive series against the Caribbean team. This feat is tied for the most consecutive Test series wins against an opponent in history, with South Africa having achieved the same record against the West Indies from 1998 to 2024.
A Look at India’s Longstanding Success in Test Cricket
India’s record against the West Indies is part of a larger trend of sustained success in Test cricket. The Indian team has been particularly dominant in recent years, with multiple whitewashes and series victories against various nations. The ongoing streak of 10 consecutive series wins against the West Indies is a testament to the team’s consistency, strategy, and individual brilliance.
Apart from their dominance over the West Indies, India also holds the record for the most whitewash series wins against any opponent in Tests, with four clean sweeps over the Caribbean team. This statistic further cements India’s position as one of the strongest Test sides in the world.
India’s Place Among Test Cricket’s Most Successful Teams
India’s 27-match unbeaten streak against the West Indies ranks among the longest unbeaten runs in Test cricket history. It is now tied with some of the most notable streaks, including England’s 47-match unbeaten run against New Zealand (1930-1975) and England’s 30-match unbeaten streak against Pakistan (1961-1982). India’s run against the West Indies also stands as the second-longest against any opponent, behind only England’s dominance over New Zealand.
This exceptional run of form has placed India among the giants of Test cricket, with their sustained success proving that they are a force to be reckoned with, especially in their home conditions.
