It’s been 14 years since India last won a Test series in England. Line-ups have changed, captains have come and gone, but the returns from England have continued to be abysmal even as India have established themselves as a strong touring side in other parts of the world.
When the current Indian team came to England about two months ago, they were chasing a dream. It was crushed as Virat Kohli’s boys lost to New Zealand in the World Test Championship final. The team took a break, recharged batteries, and came together again, but the pressure to deliver seems to have mounted ahead of the five-Test series that begins at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Wednesday.
