India vs Australia: Biggest win margins, leading wicket-takers, most centuries and more numbers from 102 Tests

India will face Australia in another exhilarating Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on 9 February in Nagpur which will be the 28th bilateral Test series between the two nations. India travelled to Australia immediately after their independence, playing the first-ever Test series Down Under, but they lost 4-0 (5) miserably. However, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was established only in 1996/97. Prior to that, the teams would travel at irregular intervals and the number of Tests in a series were also largely different. Despite several defeats at the outset of the rivalry, over a period of time, India have strengthened their performances and now holds the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for six straight years, including back-to-back series wins away from home, in Australia.
