The Test format is the ultimate love of all the cricketers who play international matches for their respective countries. Even today, when T20 cricket is moving on with great speed and engaging a large audience, players still prefer Test cricket since it gives them the time and space to judge the ball and play accordingly. The format demands a lot of patience and perseverance from the players and the support staff as well.
If we consider teams like India, England, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, they have done pretty well since 2013 in Test matches. These countries also have the best infrastructure for Test matches and play a minimum of ten matches throughout the year. Most of the teams have played almost 100 Test matches and have almost more than half of them. This proves that the teams enjoy playing the longer format of the game and get the much-needed results with their constant efforts.
Here are the teams with most number of wins in Test cricket since 2013:
1. India
India is leading the race for most wins since 2013 in Test cricket thanks to MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. They were the stalwarts of the Indian cricket team and did wonders in their captaincy period. India have played around 112 games and won 64 out of them which makes their win percentage 57.14. Even though they have failed to win the WTC Finals twice, the performance of the Men in Blue in individual series has remained constant.
2. Australia
After India, Australia is leading the race. While they have played more matches than India, they have attained fewer victories, which is the reason behind their lower percentage. In 117 games, the Aussies have won 62 matches with a win percentage of 52.99, which is pretty decent. They have maintained their wins in the long run, which is quite commendable.
3. South Africa
The Proteas haven't played 100 matches since 2013 but have won 47 out of 94 games. Their win percentage is 50.0. They went through a period of transition with a shift of players in the team. Hence, they failed to win a lot of matches that they were capable of winning.

The Kiwis come at number four with 43 wins in 94 matches. They have played equal matches as South Africa and had a better team than them. But still couldn't win more games than them. Moreover, their win percentage is 45.74 and can improve in the upcoming times as they have some exciting tournaments coming up in the near future.
5. England
England have played the most Test matches since 2013 compared to the other teams. They have played 147 matches and won 66 games with a win percentage of 44.89. England plays more Test matches throughout the year thanks to their infrastructure and the willingness of the players. Now, they are also in the race to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) finals after winning the back-to-back series.
