The Rise of Team India’s Golden Young Generation.
A comprehensive win for Team India
By the virtue of this historic home series win, India finishing on top of the ICC WTC standings as well as ended up occupying the top spot in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) Test rankings for teams.
The English batsmen who had come out to the middle to reduce their first-innings deficit of 160 runs once again failed to find their feet as India's frontline spinners wracked havoc. In the top order, only Test skipper Joe Root (30) managed to show some resistance. Middle-order batsman Dan Lawrence looked to deny the inevitable with a fighting 50 but he waged a lone battle as the visitors were bundled out for 135 in their second innings as the Virat Kohli-led side won the game by an innings and 25 runs to register back-to-back series wins in the longest format of the game. In the second innings, it was total dominance by the spinners as Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin bagged a fifer each.
