India secure series win; ‘Scoreboard doesn’t give enough credit to the game,’ Ben Stokes says

India have secured a series win on account of a 5-wicket win against England in the 4th test in the 5-match series in Ranchi. India now have an unbeatable 3-1 lead heading into Dharamshala for the final test. 

England however posed a far greater challenge in this test in comparison to the previous 2 games. They had a 46-run lead heading into the third innings. India were in a spot of bother having lost 5 wickets and still needing 72 runs to win. However, Shubman Gill built a 72-run partnership with wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel to help India pass through the tense phase. Dhruv Jurel was adjudged as the man of the match owing to his scores of 90 and an unbeaten 39 in the game. “It was a great Test match, the scoreboard doesn't give enough credit to the game as a whole, the ebbs and flows. So much credit to our spinners, being exposed to a situation like that at the start of their careers. I couldn't be more proud. That's the way I am as a person, allowing these guys to come into an intimidating situation and treat every ball as an occasion. It's brought out a lot of talent not just for us but for India. I'm a massive Test cricket fan. We've been good in periods, yesterday with the bat was incredibly hard against Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep. We didn't

think the pitch would get any better, and we've seen that today,” English captain Ben Stokes said in the post match presentation.
