The present Indian team do not carry the burden of history when they embark on a cricket tour to countries that have proved to be their nemesis in the past. The current batch of cricketers live in the present and do not shy away from taking the strongest of rivals head-on in adverse conditions.
Considering that India have never won a Test match in seven attempts at Edgbaston, the venue of the rescheduled fifth Test match from July 1, one could say that history is against them. But for Team India it is going to be just another game, and the aim is to win the contest and conclude the unfinished business left over from last year. This attitude has seen the team achieve glory in perennially difficult countries like Australia and New Zealand recently.
