New Delhi, Jan 23 (TIWN) When England were pulverised 0-4 on their last tour of India in 2016, Virat Kohli piled up 655 runs at an average of 109.16 in the five-match Test series, and Karun Nair became the second Indian to score a triple century after Virender Sehwag. The one-sided series, played in November and December four years ago, featured two innings victories for India.

Since then, India have lost a Test series in England, 4-1, along with series defeats in South Africa and New Zealand, but have managed consecutive series wins in Australia, the most recent of which came this month. Now, England will be keen to avenge that thrashing when they play a four-Test series, beginning on February 5 in Chennai in bio-bubble. Presently, England are locked in a two-Test series in Sri Lanka, and will fly in straight from there to Chennai and go into quarantine, along with the Indian team.
