Team India's last Test match
Team India played their last Test match against Afghanistan. The only Test between India and Afghanistan was played in New Chandigarh. In that match, Team India under the captaincy of Shubman Gill won by an innings and 300 runs. The match was not part of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table, so even after winning, India did not gain much in points.
