A win at Dharamsala would mean that India has 178 wins in test cricket to equal its 178 losses. Around 2000, it was 61 wins and 112 defeats. Just shows how much the Indian team has improved in the last two decades.

#SuratTrivia As a last wish, Daan veer Karna wanted to be cremated at a place which was not reigned by anyone. as he did not want to be in anyone's debt and did not want to be unlucky in next life. Lord Krishna found Surat as ideal. Karna was cremated at Ashwinikumar, Katargam.
