India's first Test series win under the English sun came in 1971,
after six winless tours, when the Ajit Wadekar-led men claimed the
three-match rubber 1-0. The second triumph came 15 years later in 1986
under Kapil Dev and the third after a gap of 21 years in 2007 with Dhoni
at the helm. In between, India managed to hold England 1-1 in 2002
under Sourav Ganguly's captaincy.
