IND v ENG 3rd Test, The Oval : Dravid's men look to end 21-year drought at Oval (IND 1:0)

Sitting pretty on their 1-0 lead after the victory at Trent Bridge, India will be looking to end a 21-year-long drought of a series triumph in England as they square up against the hosts in the third and final cricket Test at the Oval here tomorrow.
Even as the likes of Sachin Tendulkar , Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble will be looking for their crowning glory moment in England -- being a part of a victorious Indian team -- in the evening of their respective careers, they need to take care of a jinx that has been plaguing the side in recent years.
Too often in the past, India has taken a lead in the series only to allow the opposition to turn the tables on them.
If a dream win in Adelaide against Australia in 2003 was followed by a soul-shattering defeat in Melbourne in the very next Test, India's first-ever Test win in Pakistan in 2004 at Multan was followed by a nerve-wrecking defeat at Lahore. More recently, India squandered a huge opportunity in South Africa early this year when, when after beating the hosts at Johannesburg in the first Test, they promptly lost the next one at Durban before losing the series in Cape Town.
"We have to be consistent. We have to back our good performances by some more good performances. We will celebrate this win, but at the same time, we will keep our mind focused on the final Test and on what we need to do there", Indian captain Rahul Dravid said.
