Lancashire v Surrey - LV County Championship Division Two
Old Trafford in Manchester

The Indian team has set foot at Old Trafford nine times, and have managed to lose four of the nine matches, while the rest have ended in a draw.

The first time that India played a match at the stadium was in 1936, under the leadership of Maharajah of Vizianagram, which ended in a draw, after the English had piled on a mammoth score of more than 500 in the first innings. The Indian team played games at the stadium in 1946 and the first loss that they suffered was in 1952.

The team did not play a game at Old Trafford for a gap of almost twenty-four years, after 1990 but when they returned in 2014, they were unable to reverse their string of performances at this ground, going down to Alastair Cook’s side by an innings and 54 runs in just three days.
