Triumph hailed as India’s best abroad
NEW DELHI, Aug 27: India’s series-levelling victory over England at Headingley is being hailed as the country’s finest Test win overseas.
India won the third Test in Leeds on Monday by an innings and 46 runs, their biggest victory margin abroad, and now have a chance of winning a series outside south Asia for the first time in 16 years in the fourth and final Test at the Oval which starts next week.
“It was perhaps India’s best Test win abroad,” former Test off-spinner Erapalli Prasanna said from Bangalore Tuesday.
“The win was more significant because the players had been under tremendous pressure due to the contracts row with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and their own national board. But they put that behind them and came out on top.”—Reuters
