5 biggest Indian defeats under MS Dhoni's captaincy

#2 against England at Mumbai (2nd Test, England tour of India, 2012/13)

Pietersen's ton against India during the 2012 Mumbai Test is counted among his best knocks for England

Dhoni, by and large, had a formidable record at home as skipper of the Indian Test team, with the 8 victories against Australia in as many matches, the obvious highlight.

However, England got the better of India under Dhoni's captaincy even on home conditions, winning the four-Test series in 2012/13, 2-1, which included a 10-wicket win at the iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.

The series began on a good note for the hosts as they won the first Test by 9 wickets and MS Dhoni found favour with the toss in the second match and elected to bat first as is the norm in home Test matches.

Despite Pujaar's majestic knock of 135, India could only manage a total of 327 in their first innings. Centuries by Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen meant that England were able to build an 86-run first innings lead.

The home crowd might have hoped for a comeback from the Indian side but the second innings turned out to be a disaster as they were bowled out for just 142 runs. Only Gautam Gambhir and Ravichandran Ashwin managed to reach double figures for the hosts.

Needing 58 to win the match, England romped home with ten wickets in hand. They would carry forward the momentum to win the third Test as well and a draw in the fourth and final Test meant that England won the series 2-1.
