But a winning streak in England, where Virat Kohli's men start a five-trial run at Edgbaston on Wednesday, would be a way to rid the team of the two. India of this undesirable brand.
In the past five years, India has won only one of its six rounds of tests outside of Asia, against a struggling West Indian.
Their overall test record in England is uninteresting – six wins in 57 games and three straight wins – 1971, 1986 and 2007.
But if the current prolonged hot weather in England continues, the upcoming show could well be played on dry, dusty grounds, closer to the surfaces found in India, rather than traditional green English seamstresses. .
Also, while doubts remain as to the ability of England to cope with either of the veterans duo Stuart Broad and James Anderson, India has at least one depth of bowling.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah may be unsuitable for the first test but the likes of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav are shown capable operators outside of Asia.
Anderson is a master of the conventional swing, but India can have the advantage if the conditions favor the reverse swing during what will be the match of the 1000th test of England.
"They seem to have a good variety of bowlers and strength in depth in their bowling pace," said England's first game Alastair Cook.
"In the last ten years, I have not had the opportunity to play five or six different types of crimps," added Cook, England's all-time leading scorer, whose best score of 294 was made against India at Edgbaston in 2011.
Meanwhile, captain Kohli of India, one of the best drummers of his generation, will desperately try to prove that he can score points in England.
He scored a measly 134 in five games during his first test run in England in 2014, whose India lost 3-1 with a draw.
But Mohammad Azharuddin, the big hitter of India, thinks everything is in place for Kohli to succeed his series.
"I think that he will succeed wonderfully well," Azharuddin said.
"He has led India in as many test matches, so I do not think he'll have any pressure with respect to leadership."
England captain Joe Root, who like Kohli is at his best in the lead, arrives in the series after converting three of the 23-year-olds since his best result against Pakistan in 2016 in the hundreds – a bad return for a player of his ability.
Batting could hold the key to the series and there are interrogation points against the two higher orders.
[Angleterre9004] England, after a series of 1-1 with Pakistan, remains loyal to Keaton Jennings in the hope of finding a reliable opening partner for Cook, while Shikhar Dhawan Indians and Cheteshwar Pujara are fighting for the races.
"We are not worried at all because both are really quality drummers," said Ajinkya Rahane of India's high-level colleagues.
"It just takes a good run to get into your rhythm."
India seems to have the advantage in bowling, but offensive bowler Ravichandran Ashwin has rarely played as well outside of Asia as in the subcontinent.
The left shipowner Ravindra Jadeja is an experienced activist while Kuldeep Yadav, the left arm's right arm, has pioneered after impressing in the previous one-day series .
The shape of the white ball also led England to remember Adil Rashid, even though the baseball player did not play red cricket for Yorkshire this season and he could team up with Moeen Ali.
"He is a very good bowler," said Rahane of Rashid.
"Wrestlers, we all know that they are box office takers – and right now, in England, it's like playing in Mumbai or Chennai."
Probable teams:
India: Murali Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (Capt), Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Muhammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav
England: Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Joe Root (Capt), Jonny Bairstow (Week), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Sam Curran, Stuart Broad, James Anderson
