India Vs England 5th Test:
Team India achieved a resounding victory over England in the Dharamsala Test, winning by an innings and 64 runs. With this win, the Indian team firmly secured the Test series at 4-1. Despite a defeat against England in the Hyderabad Test, Rohit's brigade made a powerful comeback to take the remaining four matches.
A 112-year Milestone Repeated
Alongside the Dharamsala Test win, India has garnered a historic achievement. For the first time in 112 years in Test history, a team has won four consecutive matches after losing the first in a five-match series. It was Australia who last accomplished this feat during the 1901-02 Ashes series against England.
In fact, this marks the 17th consecutive Test series win for India on home soil. The last time India lost a Test series at home was in November 2012 against England. Since then, no series has slipped from India’s grasp, setting them as the first team ever to win 17 home series in a row. Next in line is Australia, with their consecutive home series wins.
