Throughout their cricketing history, the Indian team has competed in a total of 14 Test matches at the prestigious Oval Stadium, situated in London. Among these matches, India has secured two victories, suffered five defeats, and settled for seven draws. Their inaugural appearance at the venue took place in 1936, resulting in a resounding loss to England by a margin of nine wickets.

India's first triumph at the Oval unfolded during their 1971 tour of England. In the third Test of the series, after restricting England to a meager 101 runs in their second innings, the Indian team showcased exceptional resilience and skill to successfully chase down a target of 173 runs, securing a historic win with four wickets to spare.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent eight encounters at the Oval, India was unable to replicate their triumph and ended up without another victory. However, the team managed to shatter this winless streak against England in 2021, signifying a notable breakthrough for the Indian side.
