This is a remarkable record and had this been told to Indian fans in early 2000s or anyone they’d have said you’re crazy!

Dominant in the sense they’re the o y team to have won more then lost against Australia.
That keeping in mind the phenomenal run of the Aussies from 2000 to 2007 is quite amazing.
Of course it’s built on home victories but Aussies haven’t allowed many teams to decimate them on tours either.
We went toe to toe with the ATG Aussie team from 2001 to 2008, H2H 7-6 in our favor across 5 series (3 in India, 2 in Australia) during a time when all other countries were getting smashed by them. Even England which famously won the 2005 Ashes were brutalized in other Ashes encounters, in fact the very next year they lost 0-5 downunder. That fab 5 team deserves plaudits for rising to the occasion every time against possibly the greatest test team of all time.

No McWarne in 03-04, the Aussies in 08 had lost McWarne, Langer, Martyn and Gillespie so they weren't the ATG side you're making them out to be
Misleading.
Aus were missing `Mcgrath and Warne in 03-04, and by 08, they had lost several of their best players.
Lol. That '08 side was still on winning spree of 16-17 tests on the trot .No McWarne in 03-04, the Aussies in 08 had lost McWarne, Langer, Martyn and Gillespie so they weren't the ATG side you're making them out to be
This millennium:
Overall (home+away+neutral)

The record is now even.
What would be interesting is the difference in away records between touring teams.
Eg: Ind in Aus vs Aus in Ind and so on.
We'll obviously be ahead of them, but that would be an interesting analysis.
Congratulations to Indian fans. They again have a net dominant record over Australia.
By only 1 match though.
This millennium (from Jan 1, 2001) it is 17-14 in favor of India, so +3. I already put out that info in post #18, a day before Boxing Day test.
If you talk about 2000s, the 2000 SCG test (VVS 167) will enter the stats column and it will be 17-15, +2.
Australia displaced WI in 1995 to become number 1 test side, that was the start of their global domination. From 1995 till now the record reads 20-18 in favor of India.
Applying the 1995 cut off these are the H2Hs for all teams against Australia:

Look at the NZ stat, shocking !!!
Why Jan 2001?
Consider it from Jan 2000
2001 as in new millennium.
I mentioned that in my post, since Jan 01, 2000 we lead 17-15.

That NZ home record against AUS is nuts 0-9. How have they not managed to win even 1 match?

Last test between India-Pakistan was 10 years ago.
