5 famous overseas grounds where India has never won in Tests

#1 Newlands, Cape Town (South Africa)

India's record in the scenic ground is dismal to say the least

The ground in Cape Town has earmarked its way to being one of the most difficult grounds for the visiting teams in South Africa. The Indian team has played here on five occasions, with two draws and three losses, including a defeat in their recent outing on this ground this year.

In 2007, Wasim Jaffer’s 116 helped India put on 414 on the board and Anil Kumble’s 4-wicket haul helped the Proteas get restricted to 373. However, 4 wickets from Dale Steyn pushed them on the back-foot once again and South Africa comfortable chased down their target of 211 in the last innings.

The game in 2011 was more evenly fought, with the hosts gaining a slender 2-run lead in the second innings. India began their tour to South Africa this year with the first game being held in Cape Town and other than Hardik Pandya’s blazing knock of 93 in 95 deliveries, there was nothing much to write about, with the Indians being unable to chase down 208 in the last innings.
