When India overcame the 26//11 attack to face England in a Test Classic (Ind vs Eng 2008 Chennai Test)
The highly anticipated and much awaited test series between India and England commences today. As we will take a look at some of the historical matches featuring the two cricketing Giants, England told India for a seven match ODI and two match test series in November 2008. The series was interrupted by one of the darkest days for the country. The 2000 and 611 terrorist attacks. The last two ODIs were canceled and India won the ODI series five nil. The first test was scheduled to be held two weeks after the attacks
You know, irrespective of how what the result of the match was. I mean, it's clear that India one I think we need to give credit to the English cricket team for coming back and playing in India because after what had happened then it was definitely not safe for anyone would not exactly want to come back. And it feels we felt really happy when they came and expressed their desire to play in our country
Yes. I totally agree with you on this. The England Cricket Board and the management took such a quick decision to come to India, to a foreign country and allow their players to play. And Kevin Peterson, I mean, he was such a fierce leader. He decided to come in such a high security zone, especially when you know that there can be further, there can be more attacks on the country. Anything could have happened
