India won the fifth and final Test against England in Chennai’s landmark Chepauk Stadium by an innings and 75 runs to romp home in style and register a 4-0 series win.
Powered by Ravindra Jadeja’s seven-wicket haul, India picked up all ten England wickets on the final day of the match to register their biggest ever series win against England, overshadowing the 3-0 whitewash under Mohammad Azharuddin’s captaincy in 1993.Jadeja, who finished with match figures of 10/154, recorded his first ever 10-wicket haul in a Test match.
England resumed at the overnight score of 12 for no loss in their second innings, trailing India by 270 runs with openers Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings at the crease.
England lost their first wicket immediately after the break, Alastair Cook poking at a harmless delivery from Ravindra Jadeja way outside the leg stump to give a simple catch to Rahul at leg slip. The England captain’s tour, which began so well at Rajkot, ended with a knock of 49.
Jadeja accounted for the other English opener soon, as he induced a catch from Jennings off his own bowling. Jennings departed for 54, leaving the visitors at 110/2.
The left-arm spinner then sent shivers down the spine of the English team by trapping the in-form Joe Root in front of the wicket. Root tried to pull a well flighted delivery but missed completely. The umpire gave his decision in favour of the batsman but Indian captain Virat Kohli opted to review the decidion.
The ball tracker clearly showed the cherry hitting the stumps and the decision was reversed. England were now three wickets down for 126 runs.
England went into tea at 167/4 with Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes holding fort for the visitors.
But as has been the trend, a wicket fell immediately after play resumed with Jadeja picking up his fourth wicket of the innings by dismissing Moeen Ali (44), who perished while looking to clear the mid-on and ended up giving a simple catch to Ashwin.
