India crushed England by 10 wickets yesterday in a rare two day Test triumph that winning captain Virat Kohli said had been “bizarre”.
Spinner Axar Patel took 11 wickets over two innings as India outplayed their rivals in all departments in the day-night game to take a 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
Rohit Sharma hit a six to see India to their meagre second innings target of 49 without losing a wicket in the world’s biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
“I have never been part of a Test match where things have moved so quickly,” said Kohli.
“It was bizarre that out of the 30 wickets, 21 were off straight balls,” he said praising his spin bowlers but hitting out at the batsmen on both sides.
“The result went our way but the quality of batting was not at all up to standard from both teams to be very honest,” said Kohli, who has now beaten M.S. Dhoni’s Indian record of 21 Test wins at home as captain.
