How many tests have India won at the Oval?
India have won only once- that famous win in 1971 which marked their first test as well as series win on English soil. Bhagwath Chandrasekhar took a famous six wicket haul in England’s second innings.
Three of England’s four wins over India at this venue have been innings victories, with the fourth being a comfortable 9 wicket win.
