Five understated reasons why India have done exceedingly well in Test matches

#5 Winning tosses to avoiding losses

Luck with the toss

Last but not the least, we cannot deny the importance of a toss in the strategic planning of a game. In a Test match, batting in the 4th innings is not considered to be easy due to the wear and tear of the pitch.

India have won 10 tosses out of their 20 matches since 2016. On all of those occasions, they have elected to bat first and have ended up winning the match. In the other 10 games where they have lost the toss, the results have been 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

Winning tosses is a sheer example of luck, but much credit should be given to captain Kohli to bring out the best of what is given.
