# 1 Why the Will - Strongest Indian Form Away from Home

India v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5
India v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5

A big criticism of the Indian team is that they often failed to travel as well as they performed at home. That is not the case for this Indian team. Aside from the series loss to England, India has notched up several away series victories, including a comprehensive series win against Australia in Australia. This was the first time an Indian team was able to defeat Australia in a home series in their shared history.

Outside of the solitary series loss to England, India has not dropped a single away series since 2016 in Australia and in that time period have played 31 games, winning 24 of them to come out with an away ODI victory rate of 77.4%. That is a phenomenal record to have achieved playing against high-quality opposition in South Africa and Australia at their home grounds.
