Matches played - 9

Won - 2, Lost -4, Draw - 3

Much before the M Chidambaram Stadium came into place, it was the Nehru Stadium which hosted 9 Tests for a decade between 1956 to 1965. Since ODIs were not invented back then, all the matches held there were Tests.

India, who had not made a mark for themselves back then were one of the weakest sides in the world and it comes as no surprise as they lost most of the Tests during that period.

They won the first match against New Zealand which was held in 1956 but had to wait for six years until their next victory against England in 1962.

The last Test was held between India and New Zealand in 1965 which ended as a draw.
