In which match did India get its first victory?
Let us tell you that India had to wait for 25 matches for its first win in Test cricket. This may surprise you, but the truth is that India did not win a single match in the first 24 Test matches and won the 25th match. The numbers of New Zealand and Bangladesh teams are even lower than India. Bangladesh achieved its first win in Test cricket in the 35th match. Apart from this, New Zealand got its first win in Test cricket in the 45th match. These figures would have made you realize that this is a really big achievement for Ireland.
