Team India Test Record Old Trafford, Manchester: The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is being held in England and for this a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. The fourth match of this series is to begin on Wednesday (23 July) at Old Trafford, Manchester. England have won a 2–1 lead in the series by winning the headingley and Lord’s Tests.

However, it will not be easy for Shubman Gill & Company to do this, as the upcoming match is happening on the venue where India has not won a single Test yet. Many veterans have tried to win Team India on this ground but could not succeed.

How is India’s Test record in Manchester

India played their first Test in the Manchester ground in 1936 and have played a total of 9 Tests on this venue in the last 89 years. During this time, India has not won a single time and has lost 4 times. While 5 matches ended as draws. In such a situation, India now has a chance to change history. If the Indian team manages to win, then the series will be equal to 2-2 and then the fifth and final Test in the Oval will prove to be decisive. Earlier in Edgbaston, India had never won the Test but there it tasted the victory. With some similar expectation, India will also enter the fourth Test.
