Dravid’s jubilant presence in the dressing room was evident as he cheered when Dhruv Jurel struck the winning runs, followed by warm embraces for both Jurel and Shubman Gill as they returned to the dressing room.

This win held particular significance as it marked India’s first Test victory in India while chasing a target of over 150 runs since 2013. Additionally, it was India’s seventh Test series win after trailing 1-0. England, under the leadership of head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, faced defeat in their first Test series. Despite holding a first-innings lead, England faltered in the second innings due to a lackluster batting performance.

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin led the charge by claiming three early wickets in England’s second innings. His dismissals included Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope, both falling for low scores. Ashwin further dented England’s hopes by removing Joe Root, leaving them struggling at 65/3.

Kuldeep Yadav joined the onslaught by dismissing Zak Crawley and later accounted for Ben Stokes, while Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Jonny Bairstow. Yadav’s dominance continued with the scalps of Tom Hartley and Ollie Robinson, completing a four-wicket haul. Ashwin wrapped up the innings with two more wickets, completing a five-wicket haul.

Chasing a target of 192 in the second innings, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma provided a solid start, adding 84 runs for the first wicket. Rohit Sharma notched up a well-deserved half-century before falling for 55 runs. Despite the dismissals of Jaiswal and subsequent batsmen, Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel ensured India’s victory with a composed display, guiding the team to a five-wicket triumph.
