We review the fourth Test between India and England in Ranchi – where India sealed a series with a magnificent five-wicket win.
Talking Points:
- The third-innings bowling that capped another brilliant third-day fightback
- India’s forced accelerated transition – with a team full of youngsters
- Dhruv Jurel’s expert batting with the tail
- Ashwin, Jadeja, Kuldeep – an undecipherable trio
- Bazball sucking all the oxygen out of the England media
- Did England miss a trick by not bowling Anderson and Robinson enough?
- How England’s statements often ran opposite to their actions
- Could England have done better in India if they shelved Bazball?
- Akash Deep’s dream first spell
