India's first win in the last 22 Tests against Pakistan

India's epic win against the recently concluded Test at Delhi will be
rememberd for Anil Kumble's historic feat. But among many other
records, a very important fact seems to have missed the attention it
deserves. India have beaten Pakistan for the first time in 19 years in
a Test (although a decade of that was without any Tests between them)
and after a gap of 22 Tests. Pakistan had won 5 of these and the
remaining 17 were drawn.
The last time India beat Pakistan was in fact at the same ground where
they lost the first Test of the current series, Chepauk, in early
1980. Since then the two teams have played 5 series before the present
one.
The following table lists the results of the Tests between the teams,
since and including India's last win against Pakistan 19 years ago.
