It is interesting to note that both these tests lasted three days. India and Pakistan are the neighbouring countries. It is also interesting to note that the bowlers have performed the feat on home soil. India lost the test, while Pakistan won the test. One more subtle observation on this rare feat is – the feat is performed by combination of spin bowlers
