The fifth Test at Dharamsala witnessed the India Cricket Team dominating over the England Team, ultimately securing a 4-1 victory in the Test Series.
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India achieved a convincing 4-1 series victory against England, strengthening their key World Test Championship points. Despite losing the toss and being asked to bowl first, the Indian team justified their captain’s decision by preventing England’s batters from settling down. Kuldeep Yadav played a key role, grabbing a five-wicket haul, while Ravichandran Ashwin contributed with four wickets, reducing England to a modest 218 runs in the first innings. Zak Crawley top-scored for England with 74, but the rest of the lineup struggled to surpass 30 runs.
In response, India displayed a great batting effort. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (57) and Rohit Sharma (103) set the tone, followed by a magnificent century from Shubman Gill (110). Debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65) and Sarfaraz Khan (56) also played key innings, enabling India to construct a formidable total of 477 runs and take a dominating 259-run lead. Contributions from Kuldeep Yadav (30) and Jasprit Bumrah (20) further strengthened India’s position.
In the second innings, England struggled with the bat, and the Indian bowlers extended their dominance. Ravichandran Ashwin got another five-wicket haul, while Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets each, bowling out England for 195 runs. Joe Root fought a lone struggle with 84 runs, but the lack of assistance from other hitters resulted in India’s final victory by an innings and 64 runs, clinching the series victory with 4-1.
