1st Test - Mohali
The disappointment of losing the first Test was writ large on the faces of the English team, and it seemed as if all the early predictions of a crushing victory for India would come true.The second Test was at Ahmedabad, where the wicket would aid the spinners furthermore.
A gloomy future lay ahead for the Poms.
Statistic of the match: Day 4
This win was India's first at home after putting in the opposition in to bat. India's only two other such wins came away from home - against England at Lord's in June 1986 (by 5 wickets) and against Sri Lanka at Kandy in August this year (by 7 wickets). For the record, India have lost 14 and drawn 22 Tests after inviting the opposition to bat.
