5 most glorious team comebacks in cricket

#3. England turn the tables in India- 2013

England's Kevin Pietersen unleashed a mammoth innings on the Indian side in 2013

When England arrived in India for a series of four Tests in 2013 neither the present nor the past favoured them. The drubbing at the hands of the visiting South African team earlier the year was very fresh and was still hurting the fans while the whitewash given by Pakistan in UAE was too massive and shameful to be forgotten so easily.

The first Test saw England getting routed by nine wickets. The fact that they trailed by a massive 330 runs in the first innings reflected the sorry state of the visitors.

With two down for 68 runs while replying to India's 327 on a dangerously spinning Mumbai pitch in the second Test, England looked set for another humiliating defeat. And then Kevin Pietersen happened.

With his powerful arms, bold attitude and fearless approach, Pietersen slammed a counter-attacking 186 and England's renaissance happened.The spinners took over the mantle and destroyed India in the second innings to steer England home.

In the third Test, India was given a taste of their own medicine as the spin duo of Swann and Panesar wrecked home team while Cook continued his runathon. A draw in the fourth Test completed England's sensational comeback series victory.

Cook slammed three hundreds in four innings while Swann surpassed India's spinners to become the leading wicket-taker as England turned the tables and became the only team to win a Test series in India after 2006.
