Cricket History - England Tour Of India 1984-85

By Abhishek Mukherjee March 11, 2021 • 15:02 PM View: 5185

Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, had been assassinated on October 31, 1984. On November 26, Percy Norris, the British Deputy High Commissioner in Bombay, hosted the touring England team for a dinner. Norris was shot dead next day, about half a mile away from the team hotel.

The tour went ahead despite the controversies. And despite losing the first Test match, at Bombay, England came back strongly to win the series 2-1. In fact, they became the first team to win a Test series in India after conceding a lead.
