At last, team India beat the visiting team England by an innings and 36 runs to win 4th Test and clinch five-Test series by 3-0 margin. With the excellent performance by Indian players with both bat and the ball, they continued their winning streak in the Test Cricket Format and set their top ranking in the Tests.
England had faced a tough task of saving themselves from losing their 3rd defeat in the series against India. Team India had been always on top dominating the visiting team since Day-1. At the start of the fifth and final day’s play, India needed four more wickets to win. But India’s strike bowler Ravichandran Ashwin removed the well-set Jonny Bairstow (51) to push visitors towards the wall.
So, Twitter reacts as India beat England by an innings and 36 runs.

Ashwin is a hugely skilful bowler but arguably more impressive is his intelligence; his ability to set batsmen up is Warne-esque. #IndvEng

It is very rare that a team scores 400 and loses by an innings; especially in India where 1st innings runs are gold!

England (in 1930 & 2016) & Sri Lanka (2011) are the only sides to lose a Test by an innings after making 400 or more batting first!#IndvEng

India’s 8th Test win under Virat Kohli in 2016- most any Indian captain has won in a calendar year. MS Dhoni had won 7 in 2010.#IndvsEng

The only real contest in this series has been between Ashwin and Jadeja in picking up the key wickets. #INDvENG
