The India vs England Test series kicked off at the historic cricketing state of Saurashtra. It ended in historic fashion as well. On Tuesday, India's left-arm spinning all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's 10 wickets in the Chennai Test caused a 4-0 series win for the hosts. In a happy coincidence, another left-arm spinner from Saurashtra — Salim Durani — claimed the same number of wickets to help Nari Contractor's 1961-62 men beat Ted Dexter's Englishmen for the first time in a series. That win was achieved in Chennai as well albeit at the Corporation Stadium and not at Chepauk.
