ICC Test Champions vs ICC World Cup Champions: This group of matches promised to be one of the most anticipated in history with the recent rise of England to the top position in the ICC Test match rankings against one of the strongest batting units ever assembled by India, who had proved their game by clinching the 2011 ICC World Cup.

 In September, England won a five match series versus India 3-0 with one tied match and one no result. The 4th match at Lords ended in a tie under the Duckworth-Lewis method.

In the one day series, Indian captain MS Dhoni scored the most runs, (236) and English spinner Graeme Swann took the most wickets (8). India went through the whole tour of England without a win in an international match, after also losing the Test series 4-0.

The 5th match at Cardiff, was Rahul Dravid's 344th and final one-day international. He also played his first and last Twenty20 International at Old Trafford.
