ENG vs IND, Golden Memories: When Ajit Wadekar's India Scripted History In England
As Virat Kohli's men gear up to take on England in a five-Test away series in England with a battery of fast bowlers putting them on equal footing with the home side, exactly 50 years ago an unfancied India, led by Ajit Wadekar, made history by winning the first-ever Test series in England with a spin-heavy attack.
It was leg-spinner Bhagwath Chandrasekhar's 6/38 - along with left-arm spinner Bishan Bedi's 1/1 and S. Venkataraghavan's 2/44 - that helped India shoot England out for 101 in the second innings of the third and final Test and upturn the disadvantage of a 71-run deficit into a gettable 173-run target for India in the fourth innings.
