5 reasons why India will defeat England in the second Test at Lord's

#2) The win at Lord's in 2014 and the positive frame of mind

Team India won at Lord's in 2014

The last time India played a Test match at Lord's, they defeated the hosts by by 95 runs--courtesy Ajinkya Rahane, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's heroics. It was a collective team effort that earned them a famous win at Lords' four years ago under the then-skipper, MS Dhoni.

A majority of the players who played that Test are in the squad for this series and might well be featured in the playing XI once again. Hence, with the memories of that success still fresh, they're likely to approach the second Test with a positive frame of mind--something that's absolutely essential to outclass the English in their own backyard.
