India's tour of England saw honours shared as the visitors lost the Tests but won the ODIs.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the BCCI seem to be on collision course over the India captain's comments on head coach Duncan Fletcher's future after the Board had sent strong signals that the Zimbabwean could be on his way out.

Following India's abysmal performance in the Test series, Indian head coach Duncan Fletcher was sidelined while bowling coach Joe Dawes and fielding coach Trevvor Penney were asked to 'take a break' with Ravi Shastri being appointed as the team director.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's garden appeared very rosy when his unfancied side claimed their first overseas win in three years with a comprehensive second Test victory at Lord's but the joy and relief proved to be nothing more than a decorative flower.

India were bundled out for 94 on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test at the Oval as England recorded a comprehensive win by an innings and 244 runs to clinch the five-match series 3-1.

India's 3-1 series loss to England means they have not won a series outside the sub-continent since their Test series victory in New Zealand in 2009.

India lost the series 3-1 to England despite taking a lead early on. They won the second Test at Lord's before losing at Southampton, Old Trafford and The Oval in successive games.

India need a hero to emerge on this tour of crisis in England. Can MS Dhoni's men learn from some of the past greats or perhaps Stuart Broad himself?

Indian team coach Duncan Fletcher came under sharp criticism from former India cricketer Farokh Engineer after MS Dhoni & Co. lost the fourth Test at Manchester by an innings an 54 runs, giving England an unbeatable 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli have added just 315 runs in 16 innings between them as India suffered a massive loss at Manchester to give England a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
