Rohit Sharma and his team pulled off a commanding win against England in the third Test match against England in Rajkot on Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
The triumph was constructed by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten double hundred in the second innings, which helped India set a daunting 557 runs for England to chase.
Ravindra Jadeja’s five-wicket haul then ensured England bundled out on day four, 434 short of the target. This was India’s biggest win margin by runs in the format.
