India Test Record at Headingley: The five-match Test series between India and England begins on Friday, June 20, with the first clash set to be played at Headingley Stadium, Leeds.

All eyes will be on Shubman Gill, who is leading a new-look Indian Test side. With the series marking a fresh chapter in India’s red-ball journey, fans are hopeful that Team India will overcome past struggles in England — starting with a strong show at Headingley.

India’s Record at Headingley

The Indian team has played a total of seven Test matches at Headingley. Their track record at this historic venue is far from ideal — India has won just two, lost four, and drawn one.

India first played at this ground in 1952, a match they lost by seven wickets. Their most recent appearance came in 2021, where England handed India a crushing defeat by an innings and 76 runs. The last time India tasted victory at Headingley was in 2002 — more than two decades ago.

Can Shubman Gill End an 18-Year Wait?

India hasn't won a Test series in England since 2007, when Rahul Dravid’s men scripted history. Now, with a young and dynamic squad led by Shubman Gill, the team has a real shot at breaking that 18-year drought. With a full-strength pace attack and an in-form middle order, India’s challenge will be to start strong and build momentum from the first Test.
