India’s Test Performances over the years at Trent Bridge

#6. India on tour of England in 2014, First Test

Indian opener Murali Vijay began the tour with a sterling knock of 146 runs

Result: Match Drawn

The fresh tour to England in 2014 began with India calling the toss correctly and batting first. Murali Vijay (146) and MS Dhoni (82) struck the right notes, but the show was stolen by number eight Bhuvneshwar Kumar (58) and number eleven Mohammad Shami (51) taking India to 457.

English rising star, Joe Root (154) stitched a historic partnership of 198 runs for the tenth wicket with England’s number eleven James Anderson, who scored his personal best of 81, to gain a 39-run lead.

Indian batting order stood tall in the second dig as well. The debutant, Stuart Binny top-scored with 78. Bhuvneshvar Kumar helped himself to yet another half-century to ensure a respectable draw for India.
