The Indian team started a well-known tour. They drew the game in Nottingham and finished at Lord’s Cricket Ground for a famous game. But the team was unable to keep track of it. The next three Tests were seriously lost.
Dhoni has asked this question after the fifth and final test. India turned its fortunes into a 3-1 victory in the ODI series. India was also in the finals with a win of the ICC Champions Trophy in England a year ago.
