  1. England (1971)

This time, India were touring England. They escaped with a draw in the first Test at Lord’s. The second match was also a draw and the decider was to be played at The Oval.

Although England took a 71 runs lead in the first innings but had a disastrous second innings of 101. Chandra grabbed the headlines with figures of 6/38 & a run-out of opener John Jameson. India was helped by some sensational catching by Eknath Solkar, whose dive at forward short leg to dismiss Alan Knott is still remembered. GR Viswanath and Farokh Engineer batted batted brilliantly to chase down a target of 173 with 4 wickets to spare on the final day.
