Echoes of History: Rare Instances of Teams Winning 4-1 After 0-1 Deficit
Looking back at cricket history, achieving a 4-1 series win after trailing 0-1 is a rare feat. England previously accomplished this in 1912 on Australian soil during the Ashes series. The statistical rarity adds an intriguing layer to the ongoing India-England Test series, with Australia being the only other team to achieve this feat twice, against England in 1897/98 and 1901/02.
