Well done, Team India. To win a Test series at home without Kohli-Rahane-Pujara scoring a single century and no Jadeja-Shami. That too...after losing the first Test match convincingly. This team keeps growing in stature....appreciation and admiration. #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/OUnJMDCxdK

With India leading by 160 runs after their first innings, England could only muster 135 in their second innings. Despite a half-century by Dan Lawrence, the visiting batting order crumbled against India's spinners.

Earlier on Day 3 during India's first innings, Washington Sundar scored an unbeaten knock of 96 runs off 174 deliveries, to help India post a first innings score of 365.

The win also helped India book a seat in the World Test Championship final.
