After the demoralizing defeat in the 5th test match at Birmingham at the hands of a rejuvenated English test side in red hot form, the onus was up to India to make sure that defeat didn’t impact their limited-overs leg of the series. Coming back from a hammering in the test match where the Englishmen chased down a mammoth target of 378 runs with only three wickets down, and at a staggering run rate of almost 5 runs an over seemed to be an uphill task for India, but they did it in style. Team India thrashed England in the T-20 and ODI series to clinch victories in both limited over formats.
