#5 India vs England - 2012 Test
A Test match that every Indian fan would remember for a very long time but for wrong reasons. After annihilating the visiting English team in the first Test, India went a step ahead and prepared a rank turner at the Wankhede in order to pile more misery on the visitors.
The move, though, backfired in stupendous fashion as Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar made perfect use of the conditions to lead England's fightback. India batted first and posted 327 with the help of Cheteshwar Pujara's 135.
In reply, skipper Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen struck contrasting tons to help the visitors fetch an 87-run first innings lead. While Cook dug in deep to score 122, Pietersen was severe against the spinners and went on to score a majestic 186.
Nine Indian batsmen registered single-digit scores in the second innings as Panesar and Swann ran riot to dismiss India for just 142 which gave England just 57 to chase. The openers knocked off the runs in comfortable fashion to level the series 1-1.
