#1. 42 vs England, 2nd Test, Jun 20-24 1974
India always rely on their spin attack even on green pitches in England that don't have much to offer for the slow bowlers. In India's 2nd Test at Lord's vs England, the hosts posted a massive 629 in their 1st innings as India failed to get through batting line up in a convincing manner. The left-arm spinner in Chandrasekhar accounted for six England wickets after bowling 64 overs for his side.
This was enough an indicative for India's weak fast bowling strength. After letting the opposition run away, India managed 302 in their 1st innings and were asked to follow on as what followed was a tragic page in India's cricket history.
In what turned out to be the final innings of the Test match, India were bowled out for mere 42 runs to record for the lowest innings total at Lord's till date. England reigned their supremacy to eventually take the game by an innings and 285 runs.
