Abhishek Sharma was the star of the final match against England as he scored a 54-ball 135. Varun Chakravarthy was the Player of the Series with 14 wickets in five matches. However, Team India Fielding Awards went to someone else

Meanwhile, after the dominating series win, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan took a subtle dig at the England team after India shattered records at Wankhede to secure a resounding 150-run victory over the touring side.

In the final game of the enticing five-match series, India broke the shackles to script an emphatic win over England, concluding the series on a high note.

The five-match affair saw a couple of heated remarks from current and former English players. After India cruised to a comfortable 7-wicket victory in the series opener at Eden Gardens, Harry Brook made a comment that triggered India fans and forced a reaction from former cricketers.

Brook blatantly blamed smog in Kolkata, which made it hard for the England batters to pick India spinner Varun Chakravarthy during a press conference.

"Chakravarthy is an exceptionally good bowler. He is tough to pick, and actually, with the smog the other night, it was a lot harder to pick as well. Hopefully, the air is a bit clearer here, and we can see the ball a bit easier," the England vice-captain had said as quoted from Wisden.

After India's memorable success at Wankhede Stadium, Irfan took a cheeky dig at the English team. He hinted at Brook's "smog" remark while congratulating India for an emphatic 4-1 series win.

"The score line of #INDvENG was Smog & trouble-free for team India well done boys," Irfan wrote on X.
