The Indian team may have registered their landmark 100th Test win with a resounding innings-and-144-runs-victory against Sri Lanka in the second Test yesterday.

But as Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men start preparing for the last of the three Tests, to be played in Mumbai from Wednesday, they will be wary of their last-Test blues.
Since 1932, India have either lost a series or have had to settle for a levelled series, courtesy a loss in the last Test on seven occasions.
While five of these losses came during India's tours, twice it has happened on the home soil. Incidentally, the last instance in India was in Mumbai, the venue of the next Test. And the last time it happened away from home was in Sri Lanka, their opponents in this series.
