Through the years Indian Test sides have not won much outside the country. Series wins abroad are even rarer. This fact makes us savour wins abroad even more. In fact, India has never won a test series in Australia and South Africa, have won only one series in Pakistan, twice in New Zealand and 4 times in West Indies ( but only one of them before 2006). In England, they have won three series once in 1971, then in 1986 and then in 2007. It can safely be said that Indian wins abroad are few and far between. Even the current side, Number 1 in the world, lost the series they recently played in England and South Africa earlier in the year.
