5 overseas venues where India have achieved their most Test success

#1 Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad

Sachin Tendulkar's resilient century enabled India to eke out a narrow victory in 2002

With the surface traditionally conducive for spinners, the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad has been a happy hunting ground for India. From 13 Tests at Port of Spain, they have won three matches and lost three games. More pertinently, this is the only venue outside Asia wherein they have won more than two Tests at a single stadium.

After drawing twice and losing on as many occasions from their first four matches at the Queen's Park Oval, India bucked the trend by registering a famous victory in 1971. Their spin troika of Prasanna, Bishan Singh Bedi and Srinivas Venkataraghavan weaved webs around a West Indies lineup comprising the likes of Sir Garry Sobers, Clive Lloyd and Rohan Kanhai. The seven-wicket triumph paved the way for their maiden series win on Caribbean soil.

In 1976, centuries from Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath helped the visitors orchestrate the then successful record run-chase of 403 in the fourth innings. After experiencing a couple of draws and a defeat, India notched their third victory in Trinidad during their 2002 tour of the Caribbean. A masterful 117 from Tendulkar as well as Laxman's twin fifties evinced a 37-run triumph. The most recent Test (in 2016) at the fabled venue saw only 22 overs of play as a soggy outfield and inadequate facilities resulted in a stalemate.
