You should add table cell that spans two columns underneath table row element inside table body element.

Please check my code below. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>
    <table>
        <thead>

            <tr>
              <th>Country</th>
              <th>Capital</th>
           </tr>

       </thead>
      <tbody>

          <tr>
              <td>India</td>
             <td>New Delhi</td>
          </tr>

          <tr >
               <td colspan="2">Countries and capital table.</td>
          </tr>

      </tbody>

    </table>
  </body>
</html>

I hope it helps.
