All teams, all sports, strive to find that ingredient where no matter who takes the field or what situation you’re in you find a way. That is this Indian team. 4 days of a seesawing build up to a final day of edge of your seat test match pressure. So good.

From survival to revival, the final day at Lord's was no less than a binge-worthy thriller.
