India have won their last Test series against every opponent
Winning against all
v Australia, 2-1, 2017, home
A young Australian side expected to roll over began the series with a shock victory in Pune. India won a tightly fought, acrimonious Test in Bengaluru next before Australia batted out 100 overs in the fourth innings to draw in Ranchi. The decider in Dharamsala was on an even keel after two days but India's lower-order resistance on the third morning followed by an Australian batting collapse ceded the series to India.•Associated Press

v England, 4-0, 2016
Lacking world-class spinners, England were expected to struggle in a five-Test series in India. They began well, forcing India to battle for a draw in Rajkot, but the series went downhill after that. Kohli produced a couple of masterclasses in Visakhapatnam, each of India's spin trio hit half-centuries to set up victory in Mohali, and India's batting machine ran up 600-plus in the final two Tests, highlighted by Karun Nair's 303* in Chennai.•Associated Press

v South Africa, 3-0, 2015, home
Usually one of India's toughest opponents at home, South Africa came up short in a series that had some of the most spin-friendly surfaces ever prepared in India. South Africa never reached 200 in any of their innings, and even a valiant attempt to save the final Test in Delhi didn't succeed as they were bowled out for 143 in 143.1 overs.•BCCI

v Zimbabwe, 2-0, 2005, away
A series remembered in India largely for the feud between captain Sourav Ganguly and coach Greg Chappell. After Chappell said Ganguly shouldn't be in the first XI, Ganguly threatened to fly home mid-tour. An uneasy peace was brokered, and Ganguly responded with his first century in 20 months. •AFP

v Bangladesh, 1-0, 2017, home
Bangladesh's first ever Test in India proved to be a hard slog for them. On day one, M Vijay and Virat Kohli hit hundreds; on day two, Kohli's innings expanded to a double-century and Wriddhiman Saha added a ton before India declared at 687/6. Bangladesh took the game to day five but it was always a losing battle; they eventually went down by 208 runs.•Associated Press

v New Zealand, 3-0, 2016, home
A tough assignment for New Zealand became tougher still as they lost all three tosses. In the first series of a long home season for India, their spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja showed what lay in store as they snapped up 41 wickets. A 3-0 whitewash swept India to the No. 1 spot in the Test rankings. •BCCI

v Sri Lanka, 2-1, 2015, away
A couple of hours of mayhem from Dinesh Chandimal stunned India in Galle, but they fought back to take the series. They won Kumar Sangakkara's farewell Test at P Sara Oval by a commanding 278 runs. In the decider, Cheteshwar Pujara carried his bat in the first innings before Ishant Sharma's inspired bowling set India on course for victory.•AFP

v West Indies, 2-0, 2016, away
A series in which India were rarely troubled. Virat Kohli's double-century in the first Test set the tone and Ashwin hit two centuries in the series to justify his promotion to No. 6 to accommodate five bowlers. Roston Chase's final-day century in Jamaica and a washout in Port of Spain kept the scoreline to 2-0.•Associated Press

v Pakistan, 1-0, 2007, home
