It’s four years since Mahendra Singh Dhoni & Co suffered a 0-4 shellacking at the hands of hosts England, who clinched the Pataudi Trophy Test series in emphatic style in Old Blighty.

India were unable to exact revenge when Alastair Cook’s Englishmen toured India in 2012-13, when India lost the series 1-2. So, Dhoni’s team are not favourites in any shape or form despite having a coach (Duncan Fletcher) who coached England successfully and contributed in breaking Australia’s 18-year domination over the Ashes in 2005.
