It’s not often that India have found themselves one-down at home after the first Test of a series. Actually, it’s not often that India lose a Test match at home. Only four defeats in the last 48 Tests in their backyard is a mighty fine record.
Two of those four setbacks, however, have been against England, who were also the last team to grab a 1-0 lead in India, in 2021. India then bounced back in grand fashion to seal the series 3-1 and guarantee themselves a place in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship. For them to stage an encore will necessitate immense character and no little display of skill, especially after their designs of an immediate fightback were dealt two huge blows at the conclusion of the Hyderabad Test.
