5 great come-from-behind wins for India this decade

#3 Lord’s, 2014 v England

Ishant’s 7-for cleaned England up to give India a great win

In the second Test of the Pataudi Trophy, India began with a decent 295 in their first innings. They started their innings extremely poorly, but the fight back came in the form of an Ajinkya Rahane century that took them from 145 for 7 to 295.

Despite that, India conceded a 24-run first innings lead as England scored 319, with Gary Ballance scoring a century. India put up an excellent show in their second innings, scoring 342.

What was laudable was the lower-order stand that took India from 203 for 6 and later 235 for 7 to 334 for 8. A 99-run partnership between Jadeja and Kumar, both of whom scored valuable half-centuries ensured the Indians got to a respectable total. Chasing 319, England were all-out for 223 with Ishant Sharma picking up 7-74, giving India a memorable win at the Mecca of cricket.
