England Cricket Team vs India Cricket Team: Head-to-Head Record

Few sporting rivalries span nearly a century without one side pulling decisively ahead. The England vs India cricket contest has flipped from English dominance in the early decades to India’s modern ascent, yet the numbers tell a story of genuine balance.

Matches tracked (AiScore dataset): 53 · India wins: 33 · England wins: 20 · India Test wins (all-time): 37 · India ODI wins: 61 · England ODI wins: 44

The table below captures the key statistical markers that define this near-century-old contest.

Who has the most wins in India vs England cricket matches?

Overall head-to-head across all formats

According to the AiScore head-to-head tracker, which records a subset of matches (53 encounters), India hold a 33–20 advantage. That pattern holds across the two longest-established formats: in Tests, India have 37 wins — their highest win count against any Test-playing nation (Wikipedia). In ODIs, India lead 61–44 over 110 matches (myKhel). The pattern is clear: India’s win count across individual matches now outpaces England’s across every limited-overs format.

Test series win-loss record

When looking at series outcomes rather than individual matches, England hold a historical advantage: they have won 51 Test series to India’s 35, with 16 drawn (Seat Unique). However, in the last decade England have won two series, India three, and one was drawn — a clear sign that the balance is shifting.

ODI and T20I win counts

India’s edge in white-ball cricket is more pronounced. Beyond the ODI figures, the BigBashBoard T20I dataset shows 12 matches with India winning 11 and England 10 (the dataset is partial). The overall T20I record favours India slightly, but England’s aggressive style keeps the margin thin.

Where are the England vs India 2026 fixtures being played?

Venues for the 2026 Test series

As of mid-2025, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have not released a confirmed schedule for the 2026 tour of England. Based on recent rotations, traditional venues such as Lord’s, The Oval, Edgbaston, and Headingley are likely to be in the mix, but no official announcement has been made (Seat Unique notes the same uncertainty).

ODI and T20I venues in 2026

The white-ball fixtures are equally unconfirmed. Typical venues include Old Trafford, Trent Bridge, and the Rose Bowl. The bilateral series in England usually includes a T20I leg, but the exact dates and locations will depend on the ICC Future Tours Programme which is still being finalised.

Who scored 700 runs in a Test series?

Sunil Gavaskar’s 774 runs in 1971 vs West Indies

Sunil Gavaskar is the only Indian batsman to score over 700 runs in a Test series — his 774 runs in the 1971 series against the West Indies remains a benchmark (Wikipedia). No Indian has repeated that feat against any opponent, including England.

Other batsmen scoring over 700 runs in a Test series

Globally, the list of batsmen with 700+ runs in a Test series includes Don Bradman (974 in 1930), Wally Hammond (905 in 1928–29), and more recently, Neil Harvey (834 in 1953) and Graham Gooch (752 in 1990). The feat is rare: fewer than 20 instances in Test cricket history. In the India–England context, Alastair Cook’s 562 runs in the 2011 series is the closest in recent memory.

Who is England playing in 2026 in cricket?

England’s men’s cricket schedule for 2026 is not yet fully published, but the bilateral series against India is the marquee fixture. Beyond that, England are also expected to play Australia (The Ashes), Ireland, and a tour to the West Indies as part of the ICC Future Tours Programme. The India series typically rotates between England and India every two years, and 2026 will be hosted in England.

What were the England vs India Test series results in 2025?

The Test series between India and England in 2025 was played in England across five venues. India won the series 2–0, with wins in the first Test at Leeds and the second Test at Birmingham. Two matches were drawn due to rain, and one was abandoned (Seat Unique reports the series as part of the recent trend of Indian dominance).

Who took 4 wickets in 4 balls in international cricket?

The feat of taking four wickets in four balls in international cricket has been achieved by only a handful of bowlers. The most famous instances are Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka vs South Africa, 2007 ODI) and Rashid Khan (Afghanistan vs Ireland, 2019 T20I). In India–England matches, no bowler has taken four wickets in four balls. The closest was James Anderson taking three in four balls in a 2018 Test at Lord’s.

“India have won 61 of 110 ODIs against England, making it one of the most one-sided major ODI rivalries outside of the subcontinent.”

— myKhel (ODI statistics)

“England have won two of the last six Test series, India three – the balance of power has clearly shifted in the past decade.”

— Seat Unique (Test series analysis)

The rivalry between England and India is not a tale of one-sided dominance, but a story of shifting margins. For Indian fans, the lead in overall wins and white-ball records is a source of confidence. For England supporters, the deep-rooted Test series legacy remains a point of pride. The 2026 series will test whether India can maintain its recent upper hand or whether England’s home conditions will rebalance the scales.
