India have won an ‘away Test after losing the toss and batting first’ at Lord’s on Monday. It was the 13th occasion in India’s Test history that they won away after being inserted (46 Tests, 24 lost, nine drawn). Amazingly, in eight of these 13 Tests, at least one India pacer has taken five wickets or more in an innings. And these Tests saw 11 five-wicket hauls by an Indian pacer.
Since India played four pacers at Lord’s last week, the wickets got distributed and no Indian pacer returned with five wickets in an innings.
But that was not so in the 2014 Lord’s Test win under MS Dhoni. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma had taken six and seven wickets in an innings respectively then.
India’s first away Test win after being put in came when they recorded their first-ever series win away at Auckland in 1968. But it was sans a five-wicket haul.
Kapil Dev walked away with the honour of five-for during the MCG victory in 1981 when India were asked to bat first by Greg Chappell - a Test in which captain Sunil Gavaskar wanted to walk away literally.
