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.
