Team India Cricket History (Vengsarkar, Sharma, and Magic at Lord’s: India’s 1986 English Summer Glory) -Three years after the World Cup triumph, India returned to England to win the Test series 2-0. They won the first Test matches, at Lord's and Headingley, while the third, at Edgbaston, ended in a draw. This remains their biggest margin of win on English soil.
The architect of the wins was Dilip Vengsarkar, who put up a display of near-faultless batting. In the first Test match, he scored 126 not out in the first innings despite battling a cramp in his arm. This was his third hundred at Lord's in as many Tests. He top-scored in the second innings as well, with 33, as well when India chased 136.
