Fourth time we have won the series after losing 1st test

[Gollum]

In their 84-year Test history, India have managed to come back and win a series after losing the first Test, on four occasions. 

 

1972 home test series against England

2001 home test series against Australia

2015 away test series against Sri Lanka

2017 home test series against Australia

 

2/4 of these come from behind victories by this young team.

After losing 1st test here is the breakup:

India won 4 times

Australia 7 times

England 13 times

WI 3 times

Pakistan 1 time against Zimbabwe 

Sri Lanka 2 times, once against Pakistan 

RSA 3 times

NZ 1 time

 

England 16 times and WI 5 times after falling back 0-1 at the end of 2nd test, in these cases the 1st match was drawn and they lost the 2nd test only to come back and win the series, eg England drew in TB, lost Lord's and then won the series 3-1 against us in 2014. For other teams the statistics doesn't change because in all the cases they lost 1st match itself, they never came back after drawing 1st test, losing 2nd test.
