India vs England

From the days of “Lagaan” to the digital age of today, the Indian Cricket Team has constantly faced the English over various pitches across the globe. Both the countries have time and again tried to prove their mettle in the Gentleman’s game, one trying to dominate the other. This power play started with the “India tour of England” back in 1932. While the English had “various” advantages over every other country in the initial phase of international test cricket, India has had a steady climb towards the top tier in the past 20 years or so.

To date, Ind vs Eng has taken place on 252 occasions across all the formats of the game.
