England vs India 2018: 3 highest successful chases by India in England

#3 India vs England, Oval 1971 (173 runs)

Ajit Wadekar

It was the first of its kind and probably the most cherished victory of them all. India defeated England for the first time in its small but eventful 39 years history. The match started as any other test match with England notching up 355 in the first innings.

This was followed by India's reply to the total by posting 284 all out on the back of Sardesai and Farokh Engineer's fifties. It was the 3rd innings where the history was being written as England collapsed to 101 due to B Chandrasekhar 6/38.

It set India a stiff chase of 173 runs in 4th innings which India somehow managed to overcome on the back of a top score of 45 from the skipper Ajit Wadekar's blade. He was equally supported by Sardesai and Vishwanath to see India home.
