Right then! England, the way they started off in Rajkot were completely opposite after it. When a team loses a series 4-0, they need some real soul-searching. On the other hand, the No. 1 Test team has only got better with every passing game and today they showed that 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 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 also 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 season with the bat in the domestic circuit but he was not able to convert it here and he nearly got the double ton. Lauds Jadeja as he did the job for them in both the innings with the ball. Admits his team had the caliber to push this English team on the back foot. Informs the atmosphere in the dressing room is very lively as every one helps each other as and when needed. Feels the thing to watch out for in this series was that they never thought that they were out of the game and always bounced back. Is really happy to accept the fact that his pacers were better than oppositions'. Ends by saying that he is really delighted to see every member in the team stepping up at some point or the other.
ENGLISH SKIPPER, ALASTAIR COOK doesn't want to give any excuse and starts by crediting the Indian team and accepts that they outclassed them. Adds they started off well but after lunch they gave it away and feels there were some roughs on the pitch due to which the odd ball spun. 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. Further says it was a very good feeling to win 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 the company of senior players.
Day 5, two sessions left and Ravindra Jadeja had other ideas. He literally wrecked havoc and outclassed his partner in crime - Ashwin. He took 10 wickets in the match which also happens to be 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 for the visitors who scored 146 and that was outclassed by KL Rahul who missed out on a double ton by one run 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 is stored next.
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 on the final day. Cook will be really bewailed with this performance as they couldn't make the most of it after winning the all-important toss on day 1. They got runs on the board but as has been the case in the series, whatever England scored, India went past it almost 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. He claimed a 7-fer on what was a flat deck, oh boy, this is something spectacular.

Ravindra Jadeja To Jake Ball OUT!
OUT! It's all over for England! Jadeja removes the stumps and is up and running. What a catch from Karun Nair as well, a complete team performance this. Jadeja floats it up outside off, skidding in a bit, Ball comes forward to defend and gets an outside edge towards second slip where the triple centurion, Nair takes a sharp one-handed reflex catch to his left. INDIA WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 75 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 4-0!

Ravindra Jadeja To Stuart Broad OUT!
OUT! JADEJA STRIKES AGAIN! He has been a part of nearly everything which has happened today. Tossed up outside off, Broad lunges forward to defend it but he finds his glove in between and the ball flies off to Pujara who is standing at the leg slip. 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!
