Right then! England, the way they started off in Rajkot were completely opposite after it. When a team lose a series 4-0, they need some real soul-searching. On the other hand, the No. 1 Test team has only better with every game and today they showed they are on top for some reason. The action isn't over yet. These teams will continue to battle in the New Year. We now have a 3-match ODI series followed with 3 T20Is starting from 15th January, 2017 at 1430 IST in Pune. Hope you have enjoyed our coverage and really hope to have you on board for future games. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!
The Test trophy is now handed to the proud Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. He gets another one under his belt and then his mates join in to pose for the photographs. The Chepauk crowd lauds for them and they deserve every bit of it, don't they?
MAN OF THE SERIES AND VICTORIOUS INDIAN SKIPPER, VIRAT KOHLI on winning the match says that this match is an evidence of character to battle out for even the last match of the series after already winning the series 3-0. He adds that he wanted the youngsters to step up as they have the talent and had got out cheaply till now. He also said that KL Rahul has had an excellent session with the bat in the domestic circuit but he was not able to convert it here and there comes nearly the double ton for him. He also lauded as he did the job for them in both the innings with the ball. The English players were very good in the first session but we always knew that we have the caliber and strength to take them out. So the believe in there amongst makes a lot of difference. There is too much respect in the dressing room and every one is helping out each other there. He opines that they don't think much what people think about them because they believe in Each other. He also adds that they showed their character by always outscoring them. The think to watch out for in this series was that they never thought that they were out of the game and always bounced back. On his pace attack being better than the English pacers he said that Umesh Yadav was really good with the ball and he was very well supported by Ishant today by bowling on the right areas. He opines that everyone in the team has stepped up when asked to.
ENGLISH SKIPPER, ALASTAIR COOK doesn't want to give any excuse and starts by crediting the Indian team and accepts they outclassed them. Adds they started off well but after lunch they gave it away and feels this was a good fifth day wicket. Further says the main reason they lost the series was because they kept dropping crucial chances and the home side punished them for the same. Continues by saying how important it is to take the those chances. Opines it isn't easy to play 5 Tests in 6 weeks and that it is also a tough place to come and win and ends up saying they weren't a good opposition.
MAN OF THE MATCH, KARUN NAIR says on his triple ton that he thinks it will take some time to sink in and he could not sleep last night as he had too many messages to reply to. It was a very good feeling to win it and to contribute to a winning cause and putting in the effort to win the series 4-0. He also adds that it is a very beautiful place to be in and it is a learning experience when i have senior players in the team like Kohli, Pujara and Jinx. And also opines that he is always learning through the time he has been here with the team.
Day 5, two sessions left and Ravindra Jadeja had other ideas. He literally wrecked havoc and outclassed his partner in crime, the local boy, Ashwin and went on to take scalp 10 wickets in the match and registering his best figures in Tests. The Indians have once again proved that it's not only difficult to beat them in their own den but it is next to impossible. Let's wait and see what the captains of both the teams have to say...
It was Moeen Ali who scored 146 but it was outclassed by KL Rahul who missed out on a double ton but in the end the limelight was stolen by the young man, Karun Nair who went onto score a triple century and helped his side post a mammoth total on the board. With the track not having any demons in it, one would have thought this match could very well head towards a draw and with how Cook and Jennings saw off the session this morning, not many would have thought what was left in store.
The English batsmen after putting up an impressive performance with the bat, succumbed to pressure and have themselves to blame to have not survived just two sessions. Cook will be really bewailed with this performance as he couldn't make the most of it after winning the all-important toss on day 1. The got runs on the board but as has been the case in the series so far, whatever England scored, India went past it every time they had a go with the willow.
The Indian team has done it, they have bowled out the deep English batting line-up and mind you, they went wicketless in the morning session. Ravindra Jadeja, the tormentor-in-chief came out all guns blazing after lunch and spun the web viciously to bundle out the visitors and claim a 7-fer on what was a flat deck, oh boy, this is something spectacular.

A loud appeal which was more like a celebration was given out by the umpire after a long wait. Patel and Broad have a brief chat as the latter walks back. END IS NIGH FOR ENGLAND!
