Winning the most matches in Tests is a feat that any team would flaunt. India, currently placed fourth on the list, is moving steadily but quickly to climb up the rankings. The current table toppers in Test cricket are just three matches away from surpassing the West Indies on the iconic list of most Test wins.
The Indian cricket team has 180 wins in 581 Test matches, while the West Indies have 183 wins in 580 matches. The West Indies will not play another Test match until November 30. India, on the other hand, has a series against New Zealand and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ahead. With their current form, India is likely to surpass the West Indies on the list.
