Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — B, India, 4-1. England toured India for a 5-Test series (25 January - 11 March 2024), played for the Anthony de Mello Trophy. England won the series-opening Test at Hyderabad, but India — led by Rohit Sharma and powered by teenage opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's run-scoring — won the next four Tests in a row to take the series 4-1.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) Understates India's margin of victory — India won four Tests, not three.  (c) Wrong team altogether — England lost the series despite winning the opening Test.  (d) Reverses the actual result — it was India, not England, that won 4-1.

England won the opening Test at Hyderabad, but India — powered by teenage opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's run-scoring and home spin-bowling depth — won the next four Tests to take the series 4-1.
