5 instances when Team India ended a streak
India recently halted South Africa’s 9-year undefeated away streak The Indian cricket team seems to have mastered the art of bringing an end to streaks since the turn of the century. The most recent instance of this came when India registered a thumping win over South Africa at Nagpur in the 3rd Test of the Gandhi-Mandela series as they ended the South African team’s 9-year long streak of not losing a Test series away from home.Over the past 15 years or so, the Indians have broken a number of streaks, both in Tests and ODIs. While Australia have been on the receiving end on most occasions, there have been other victims as well.Here are 5 instances of Team India breaking a streak across formats:
#5 Bangladesh\'s victory streak in home ODIs, 2014-2015
Team - Bangladesh
Streak - 10 ODI wins in a row at home
Although the ODI series in Bangladesh earlier this year ended in disappointment for India, they made sure that they brought an end to a winning streak for the home side. Beginning from a win in an ODI against Zimbabwe on 21 November 2014, the Bangladeshis had won 10 matches on a trot while playing at home.
This included victory in the first 2 of the 3 one-dayers against India, thereby sealing the series by the time the last match was played. In the 3rd ODI, however, India finally managed to get things right for themselves and spoiled the Bangladesh party by winning the match and stopping their victory charge at home.
