Including: M Azharuddin, Kris Srikkanth, Roger Binny, Mohinder Amanarth, Kirti Azad, David Gower, Mike Gatting, John Emburey This tour was an important milestone in Indian cricket history with the first test series win on English soil. India toured England from 24 May to 8 July 1986, captained by Kapil Dev, playing three Tests and two ODIs. India won the Test series 2-0, with the third Test drawn. The ODI series finished drawn 1-1, though England actually won it on faster run-rate after losing the opening match. Dilip Vengsarkar was India's standout with 360 runs and was named Player of the Series jointly with England's Mike Gatting (293 runs). Both captains were under real pressure heading into the series — both Kapil Dev and David Gower reportedly needed a series win to keep their captaincies, giving the contest extra edge from the outset. India's squad blended senior figures (Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, Shastri, Amarnath) with new faces — Kiran More and Chandrakant Pandit both made their Test debuts. Gower lost the captaincy to Gatting partway through, after the First Test defeat The first two tests at Lords then Headingley were packed with drama. Lords was a historic breakthrough for India — before this match, India had drawn two and lost eight of their previous ten Tests at Lord's, so a win here carried real weight. India won the toss and chose to field. Chetan Sharma produced a superb spell that triggered an England middle-order collapse — from 66 for 1, England slumped to 98 for 4 as Sharma removed Gower, Gatting and Lamb. Derek Pringle and Graham Gooch (114) then rescued England's innings. Kapil Dev, captaining India for the first time in a Test win, sealed the chase himself — famously hitting the winning runs with a six off left-arm spinner Phil Edmonds, finishing an unbeaten 24-run partnership with vice-captain Ravi Shastri to get India home. India won by 5 wickets. The second test at Headingley delivered a crushing, one-sided victory that put India firmly in control of the series — the margin of 279 runs reflects just how dominant India were in this match. Chetan Sharma finished the series as India's leading wicket-taker with 16.
