On 7 December the England team decided to participate in the 2 match Test series^[2] and arrived in Chennai the next day.^[3]

ODI series

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.
