AFP Sport takes a look at five biggest victories for India in the five-day format:

434 v England, 2024

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out with his unbeaten 214 to fire India to 430-4 declared and hand the tourists a huge target in Rajkot.

But it was the bowlers who set up victory after they checked England's aggressive "Bazball" approach when the tourists started day three on 207-2 but collapsed to 319 all out.

India gained a handy lead of 126 into their second innings and the bowlers led by Ravindra Jadeja again came good to bundle out England in just over a session on day four for their biggest win in terms of runs.

372 v New Zealand, 2021

India outclassed New Zealand in the second Test in Mumbai after opener Mayank Agarwal's 150 powered the hosts to 325 and then the bowlers skittled out the opposition for 62.

India again batted with promise to hand New Zealand a mammoth target of 540 with Agarwal leading the batting with his 62.

The tourists were never in the chase and spinners Jayant Yadav and Ashwin combined to bundle them out for 167 to win inside four days.
