India Triumphs: Series Victory Sealed with Thrilling Five-Wicket Win over England in Ranchi

India secured a series victory against England winning the fourth Test in Ranchi by five wickets. Despite England’s strong efforts particularly from Shoaib Bashir’s impressive performance with the ball, India’s Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill’s crucial partnership guided them to the target.

Gill’s explosive hitting including two sixes sealed the win. England’s Joe Root and Zak Crawley had notable contributions but India’s spinners led by Ravichandran Ashwin played a key role in dismissing England. Despite moments of hope for England, India’s resilience and solid partnerships led them to a 3-1 series lead.

England captain Ben Stokes praised the team’s effort especially highlighting the remarkable journey of Shoaib Bashir. Former England seamer Steven Finn acknowledged India’s resilience and credited the young spinners for holding their nerve. The fifth Test in Dharamshala is the final match of the series.
