5 occasions when India lost an overseas Test from a commanding position 

#4 India vs England, Southampton, 2018

The dismissal of Virat Kohli triggered a dismal collapse

India had staged a gritty comeback in the third Test at Nottingham, being 0-2 down in the series. The match promised to be electrifying, as the two teams were coming afresh after a weeks gap. Indian captain Virat Kohli lost the toss for the fourth successive occasion and England elected to bat first.

India had a host of chances in the game, but failed to capitalize on all of them. The Indian pacers dominated the top order, with England reeling at 86-6. However, India failed to take the game away from the hosts as the tail fought back taking the score to a respectable 246. Once again, India lost the chance to bat the hosts out of the game, with Cheteshwar Pujara being the only batsman to look comfortable.

The visitors did manage to get a 27-run lead, but inefficient channelization of the bowlers and failure of Ashwin to capitalize on the rough allowed England to post a 245-run target for India. The top order collapsed, with the top 3 batsmen inside the pavilion within 25 runs. Half centuries by Kohli and Rahane kept India in the game, but Kohli's dismissal triggered a dismal collapse, with the remaining 6 wickets falling inside 61 runs, handing England a 60-run victory.
