5 Stadiums where India has never won a Test match

The current Indian Test team is one of the best on the planet. Under the leadership of skipper Virat Kohli, the Indian Test unit has defeated almost every team in home conditions.

But when it comes to playing overseas, although this team has a better record than its predecessors, the overall results have still been disappointing.

India has never won a Test series in Australia or England, which shows how much they struggle when playing away from home. Sure, they have won multiple Tests overseas, but they have somehow failed to land the killer punch to win enough series.

Moreover, there are certain stadiums where India have never been able to win a Test match. Here's a look at five of those grounds:

#1 Old Trafford, Manchester

England v India: 4th Investec Test - Day One
England v India: 4th Investec Test - Day One

Test Record - Played - 9, Won - 0, Lost - 4, Drawn - 5

Luckily, Old Trafford did not host a single Test match when India toured England earlier this year.

The Indian team has shockingly failed to win a single Test match at Old Trafford in Manchester. They played their first Test here way back in 1936; it has been 82 years since then, but they are yet to register a single win at Old Trafford.

India drew the first two Tests played here, and lost the next two (played in 1952 and 1959 respectively) by huge margins. The last time India played a match at Old Trafford was in 2014 when the MS Dhoni led side was crushed by Alastair Cook's England.

In what was the 4th Test of the series, Dhoni's 71 helped India reach 152 in the first innings. England built a lead of 215 runs and bowled out India for 161 in the 2nd innings to win the match by an innings.
