MUMBAI – England jet into Mumbai on Monday under new captain Alastair Cook, striving to win their first test series in India in 27 years against a home team desperate to make amends for last year’s 4-0 drubbing.The four-test series, starting in Ahmedabad on November 15, will be further spiced up by Kevin Pietersen’s return to the England fold after his exile and hints that Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar is on the brink of retirement.The series gives the home side an opportunity to make amends for the humiliating 4-0 whitewash in England last year that saw them dethroned as the No 1 test side – and their replacement by England.Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team then suffered another 4-0 defeat in Australia, capping a miserable six-month period that took the shine off India’s 50-over World Cup triumph in 2011.
