¿Cuál es el objetivo más bajo que India no haya podido perseguir en el cricket de prueba?

Ha habido cuatro ocasiones en que a la India se le ha dado un objetivo de menos de 200 y no han podido perseguirlo.

The India vs England Test series couldn’t be more level than it is at the moment. The hosts won at Leeds and the visitors struck back at Birmingham. With the chance to take a lead in the 5-match series, India has to chase down 193. The target may have look small, but England has already claimed 7 wickets and seems closer to victory.

To win from here will be monumental for India. Some may say that chasing 193 shouldn’t be that difficult. But unlike white-ball cricket, chasing isn’t a piece of cake in Test matches. In fact, even if India fails to win, it won’t be a big shock. Why? Well, because this won’t even be among the three lowest targets that Team India hasn’t been able to chase.

What is the lowest target India has failed to chase in Test cricket?

120 remains the lowest target India has failed to chase in Test cricket. This happened in that infamous Bridgetown Test. A game that brought the idea of retirement to Sachin Tendulkar’s mind after failing to gun down just 120 runs. The margin of defeat wasn’t small either, as India were packed for 81 by Curtly Ambrose, Ian Bishop, and Franklyn Rose.
