Finally, Team India won the Test series against England 4-0. Team India’s performance was exceptionally brilliant and the players had done a good job at the end. All the departments had performed really well.
Coming to the 5th Test and the fifth day of the match, India saved the best for the last as a dramatic turnaround. England, which started the day at 12/0 on a pitch that hardly had any support for bowlers, were bowled out for 207 as India beat them by an innings and 75 runs.
Today’s Hero was the left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who picked seven wickets. English openers, Alastair Cook (49) and Keaton Jennings (54) put up a solid stand of 103 to guide their team to lunch without losing a wicket. But things, however, changed in the second session as they lost four wickets before tea.
Hence, Indian bowlers continued the dominance till the end of the match as the English resistance crumbled to hand over the victory to India. Twitterati started pouring wishes and congratulating team India upon the series win 4-0.

England’s definitely ‘moved on’ from Kevin Pietersen – from No1 in the world to global cricket laughing stock. #BringBackKP

What a Test-class battering India have delivered in this series. England have been outclassed and outfought. Seven months to lick wounds

This has to be @imjadeja‘s finest hour as a test cricketer. Without doubt. It wasn’t a minefield and he won India the test

Win the toss. Score 477. Go on to lose the match by an innings. Now, that takes some doing. #INDvENG
