6 times India whitewashed a team 5-0

#1 England, 2008- India

Yuvraj Singh hammered a couple of centuries in the series

England’s tour of India initially comprised seven One Day Internationals, scheduled to be played over three weeks. However, following the infamous Mumbai terror attacks, two matches were cancelled and the series eventually turned out to be a 5-match affair.

On a couple of occasions, rain threatened to turn spoilsport, but they weren’t enough to deny India a victory by 5-0. Starting from the opening game in Rajkot, India put their opposition on the back-foot and had them by the scruff of the neck.

There were sparks of brilliance from the English cricketers, but India turned out to be a team strong enough to let go any opportunity. Kevin Pietersen’s century in Cuttack panned out to be the only bright spot for England in the series.
