India crushed England by 434 in four days to register their biggest Test victory by runs on Sunday, taking a 2-1 series lead. Their second win in a row followed another resounding counter to the visitors' Bazball approach of all-out aggression.
The brightest young star in India's batting transition, Yashasvi Jaiswal, buried England with another sensational innings before the seasoned Ravindra Jadeja captured five wickets to rout England for 122 in their second innings in just over a session, the allrounder claiming the Player-of-the-Match award on his home ground after scoring a first-innings 112.
The 22-year-old Jaiswal, whose career graph has zoomed since his debut in the Caribbean last summer, smashed his second consecutive double century to remain 214 not out, after hitting a match-winning 209 in the second Test, in Visakhapatnam. Skipper Rohit Sharma declared at 430/4 before the bowlers ran through the England innings in 39.4 overs.
"It's a big victory and a very good feeling to win a game like that, especially with such a young team," India skipper Rohit Sharma told reporters.
"So, a lot of these guys are learning from the experience they're having in the middle. We got a lot to learn in Hyderabad (the first Test), and then in Vizag, when we won.
"Obviously, we knew it's not going to be an easy one for us to just come out here and win this series; we have to work really hard, especially with a lot of our frontline players missing as well. A lot of credit to these young boys who have come in and shown a lot of character. Looks like they belong here, and they actually want to stay here as well."
