Virat Kohli & co. defeated England by 10 wickets on the back of some superlative bowling performances from R Ashwin and Axar Patel. The latter of the two even won the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his 11-wicket match haul. The pitch used at the Narendra Modi Stadium for the pink-ball contest turned out to be a spin-friendly one, with spinners from both sides picking up 28 out of the 30 wickets to fall on both days of the Test match.

Joe Root bowling performance
English skipper Joe Root’s bowling spell on Day 2 turned out to be one of the highlights of the gripping Test match. He rolled his arm over during India’s first innings, thus instigating a great Indian collapse as the hosts were bundled out for just 145. He bowled for 6.2 overs and dismissed the likes of Rishabh Pant and R Ashwin in his maiden five-wicket haul.
