This Indian Test team is now going to be hard to beat anywhere. In Melbourne, India dawdled to 59 for 2 in 25 overs on the final day before rain washed out play with only 67 needed for victory. Tours to South Africa, England and Australia last year presented a chance to remove India’s stigma of being lions at home, but lambs abroad. India became world champions of one-day cricket in 1983 and finally registered another away series win in England in 1986. India finished 2-1 after rain saved Australia in Sydney, but this Indian Test team is now going to be hard to beat anywhere.
