In this particular segment, let us take a close look at five iconic grounds wherein India have achieved their most Test success. Considering the disparity in conditions, only venues outside Asia are taken into consideration. These productive stadiums have been enumerated on the basis of win-loss ratios as well as relative strengths of opposition lineups.
#5 The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
While India have registered more than one Test victories in quite a few venues away from home, their historical record at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg makes for more remarkable reading. From *four matches at the 'Bullring', they have won once and drawn the other three games. In fact, they are the only team to possess an unbeaten record at this famous venue in South Africa.
With Virat Kohli's team set to square off against the Proteas in the final Test of the 2018 series, India's undefeated streak is under major threat. The visitors will do well to take inspiration from the 123-run triumph achieved by Rahul Dravid's side in the 2006/07 series. A magical spell from Shanthakumaran Sreesanth set up India's maiden Test victory on South African soil. However, the hosts came seriously close to pulling off a record run-chase when the two teams last met in Johannesburg in 2013.
