On 7 December the England team decided to participate in the 2 match Test series[2] and arrived in Chennai the next day.[3] At Chennai, Andrew Strauss hit 123 and 108, strokeful for the former England skipper. Sachin Tendulkar slammed 103* ,with Yuvraj Singh at 85*,chased the record target of 387,guiding India to a victory by 6 wickets.
India won the series 5–0. The last 2 scheduled ODIs were cancelled, following the attacks in Mumbai. The player of the series was Yuvraj Singh, who hit 2 centuries, on his way to 325 runs at an average of 65.00. India secured large winning margins in the first 3 matches, and the last. The fourth and closest match included a controversial application of the Duckworth-Lewis method, prompting the England camp to suggest a rethink of its methodologies.
2 further ODIs were scheduled for Guwahati (29 November) and Delhi (2 December) but were cancelled for security reasons following the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
