IND vs ENG 5th Test Highlights –

R. Ashwin’s remarkable performance with the ball, clinching his 36th five-wicket haul in Tests with figures of 5-77, led India to a resounding victory over England in the fifth Test in Dharamsala. His feat of achieving a fifer in his 100th Test match puts him in an elite group of bowlers. Meanwhile, Joe Root’s valiant innings of 84 was the lone bright spot for England in their second innings, as they fell short against India’s clinical bowling attack.

On day three, Ashwin’s masterful display, supported by Kuldeep Yadav’s brilliance on day one, paved the way for India’s comprehensive win. Kuldeep’s 5-72 in the first innings set the tone, while Ashwin’s consistent performance across both innings proved crucial. England’s batting faltered once again, despite Zak Crawley’s efforts, as they succumbed to India’s spinners.

India’s dominance with the bat was evident through solid contributions from Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Devdutt Padikkal, and Sarfaraz Khan, propelling them to a commanding total of 477 in their only innings. England’s bowling attack struggled to contain India’s aggressive batting lineup, with Shoaib Bashir being the lone performer with a fifer.

In the end, England’s moments of glory, including James Anderson’s milestone and Ben Stokes’ sensational delivery to dismiss Sharma, were overshadowed by India’s superior performance throughout the match. With this victory, India sealed the series with a convincing innings and 64-run win over England.
