India beat England by an innings and 25 runs, seal series 3-1

Riding high on confidence, Virat Kohli-led Indian cricket team on Saturday defeated England by an innings and 25 runs on Day 3 of the fourth and final Test at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium to clinch the four-match Test series 3-1 and seal berth in the World Test Championship final, where they will take on New Zealand at the Lord's from June 18-22.

 

Bowlers from both the teams delivered stand-out performances but India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and talented young off-spinner Axar Patel (last 5 innings 5/60, 6/38, 5/32, 4/68, 5/43*) picked up 17 wickets between them to bowl England out for 205 in their first innings and then 135 in the second.  Earlier in the day, a crucial knock from Washington Sundar (96*) and Axar Patel (43) helped India put 365 on board and extend their lead to 160.
