India posted a formidable total of 477 runs in their first innings on day three, securing a commanding lead of 259 runs. Facing the pressure, England suffered a dramatic collapse in their second innings, with Ravichandran Ashwin, in his 100th Test match, claiming 5-77. Kuldeep Yadav, who had taken a five-wicket haul in the first innings, added 2-40, while Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with 2-38 and 1-25 respectively. England was bundled out for 195 runs in 48.1 overs, sealing an impressive series win for India after a setback in the opening Test in Hyderabad.

Under the leadership of head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, England's unconventional tactics in Test cricket, coined as "bazball," have garnered attention worldwide.

The pivotal moments of India's win in the fourth Test were shaped by remarkable performances, notably Dhruv Jurel's knocks of 90 and 39 not out. Jurel's partnership with Kuldeep Yadav and Shubman Gill played a decisive role in steering India towards victory. Moreover, debutant fast-bowler Akash Deep's three wickets on the opening day and the stellar bowling displays by Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep in the second innings contributed significantly to India's 17th consecutive Test series win at home.

With all-rounder Hardik Pandya still in the process of recovering from an ankle injury sustained last October, the board believes Rohit's captaincy should persist in this format.

England, trailing by 190 runs, set India a target of 231 after scoring 420 in their second innings. Pope played a crucial role, forming crucial partnerships and utilizing the sweep effectively.

Despite Kohli opting out of the first two Tests for personal reasons, India faced a 28-run defeat to England after securing a substantial 190-run lead in the first innings.

Adding to the excitement, England introduced debutant Tom Hartley, a tall left-arm spinner, into the playing XI.
