After losing the series opener, also played at the same venue, India are in the driving seat in the second Test and look likely to level the four-match series before the teams travel to Ahmedabad for the final two games.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, India scored 329 in the first innings, with Rohit Sharma's 161 the standout performance.
Ravichandran Ashwin then took five as England were bundled out for 134. Ashwin then showed his class with the bat as well, putting on a 96-run stand with Virat Kohli, who fell after a masterful 62 just before Tea.
India went into Tea at 221/8, with a lead of 416 runs.
