After poor performance from Kenny, Borde was bought back and made his maiden test half-century. In the 5th and final test match of the series, Borde announced his arrival in the International scene when he made 109 and 96 in the drawn match[4].

In the next series, Indian cricket team tour's to England, Chandu Borde fractured the little finger on the left hand in the first Test Match[5]and missed the second test match.
