2013* The last time a bilateral ODI series of five or more matches in India was level going into the last match. That was in the series against Australia. Two games were washed out in that series, before India won the sixth ODI to level the series, and then won the last one in Bangalore by 37 runs to seal the series 3-2. The previous instance before that series was in the seven-match ODI series against WI, who won the decider to take the series 4-3.

* Correction - This point has been amended to include the 2013 series against Australia.
