Eight consecutive away Test defeats
2011 is a memorable year for the Indian cricket fans as MS Dhoni led the Men in Blue to World Cup win after 28 years. The same year also saw the team reaching new lows as they put on a dismal performance during their tour of England and Australia.
A couple of months after winning the extravaganza, India took on England in a four-match Test series in England and were completely outplayed by the Poms, who handed Dhoni and co. a whitewash.
A few months later, India toured Australia and the scoreline was no different as the Aussies handed India yet another whitewash, making it eight losses in eight matches. It was when there were thoughts of sacking Dhoni as the skipper in less than a year after the World Cup win and N Srinivasan had to intervene and prevent the selectors from taking the decision.
Eventually, India ended their winless streak in 2014(vs England at Lord's), more than three years after their last Test win away from home (vs West Indies in 2011).
