In a remarkable turn of events at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, Team India made a stunning comeback in the fourth Test against England. Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav showcased exceptional bowling performances, dismantling the English batting lineup on Day 3.

Spinners dominate English batters

After a strong batting display by India in the morning session, the momentum shifted in India’s favor as their spin duo wreaked havoc on the English batting lineup post-lunch. Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope fell victim to Ashwin’s deceptive deliveries, followed by Joe Root‘s dismissal due to an Ashwin delivery that straightened enough to hit the leg stump.

Kuldeep joined the party by dismissing Zak Crawley and Ben Stokes, adding to England’s woes. His precise bowling troubled the English batters, leading to quick breakthroughs for Team India. With Ashwin securing five wickets for 51 runs and Kuldeep bagging four scalps, India bundled out England for 145 runs in their second innings, setting a target of 192 runs.

India smell win after openers give strong start

India’s openers, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, then displayed aggressive batting, ending the day at 40/0 without any loss. With India needing 152 more runs to win and all ten wickets in hand, the hosts are in a strong position to clinch victory in the fourth Test. The stage is set for an exciting finish as Team India aims to secure the series against England.
