India Clinches Series with Convincing Win Over England in 4th Test
In the 4th Test between India and England, India secured a triumphant five-wicket victory over England, sealing the series with a 3-1 lead. Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel's composed partnership guided India to chase down the target of 192 runs on day four in Ranchi.
Despite a shaky start at 120-5, Gill's resilient 52 and Jurel's steady 39 not out ensured India's victory, marking the first series defeat for England under the leadership of Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. Gill anchored the innings while Jurel provided crucial support, thwarting England's attempts to turn the tide.
Earlier, England's hopes were lifted momentarily by Shoaib Bashir's impressive bowling, but India's resolve prevailed. The day witnessed a mix of standout performances including Rohit Sharma's half-century, Ravindra Jadeja's aggressive batting, and the spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav's relentless bowling attack.
The match also witnessed milestones as James Anderson edged closer to the 700-wicket mark, underlining his status as one of the game's greats.
With the series now decided, all eyes turn to the fifth and final Test scheduled to commence on March 7 in Dharamsala, promising another thrilling encounter between the two cricketing giants.
