India have always found conditions in England extremely tricky and have always played good Test cricket on English soil in patches. The visitors are yet to win their first Test series against England in England since 2007. India have played 17 Test matches at the Oval. Sixteen of them were against the home side, and one of them was the World Test Championship Final that they played against Australia in 2023.

India registered their first victory at the iconic venue back in 1971, whereas their recent victory at the venue came in 2021 when India had toured England under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Surprisingly, these are the only two Test matches that India have won at this venue. They have lost six, including the WTC 2023 final, and nine of them ended in a draw.
