India set 192 to win against England: What is their highest successful chase in Test history?
India's highest-ever successful chase to date came back in 1976. In Port of Spain, they were set 403 to win by West Indies thanks to Viv Richards' 177 and Michael Holding's 6/65. However, the Indian batters stepped up in the fourth innings.
Centuries from Sunil Gavaskar (102) and Gundappa Viswanath (112) along with Mohinder Amarnath's 85 meant India chased down the total on day 5, in 147 overs to win by 6 wickets.
The current chase of 192 is India's 15th-highest of all time.
