After a 4-0 drubbing in 2011 and a shocking 2-1 defeat at home in 2012, the Indians were itching to avenge the losses against England on their home turf in 2014. But there was a sense of instability with new faces in the batting as well as the bowling line up. But players like Gautam Gambhir, Murali Vijay, Virat Kohli had the experience of playing on foreign soil. The first Test held at Trent Bridge saw both teams playing well leading to a draw on the final day. All eyes were on the second Test at Lord's.
Meanwhile, Kohli who was the best Indian batsman was seen struggling with moving ball, falling both the times to Stuart Broad in the first Test. His poor form continued in the second Test, this time falling to Broad's partner-in-crime James Anderson in the first innings. When he came to bat in the third innings, India were comfortably placed at 118 for 2. But the demons weren’t gone yet as he was cleaned up off the very first delivery by Liam Plunkett. He had a forgettable tour as he finished with 134 runs in 10 innings.
