England lost the last 18 wickets for 234 inside 75 overs .. a warning sign to them in tough conditions against a good side that if you give them a sniff things can escalate very quickly .. India have been brilliant this last 2 days .. #INDvENG

Phenomenal performance by India to play this well with all the absentees that have impacted their team in this test series. Shout out to Yashasvi Jaiswal. The way he has started his international career is very impressive.

If someone told me when I got up yesterday that India would be winning this by 434 runs in 4 days and Ashwin would be back on the field, I would have probably told the person to stop drinking too much! 🤣

During my time at RR, I was truly impressed with Jaiswal’s work ethic and commitment to the game. I have seen such a level of dedication from only a handful of youngsters throughout my career.
This kid is special, and this is definitely not the ceiling for him❤️
Well played!👏— Lasith Malinga (@malinga_ninety9) February 18, 2024

India’s biggest win in Test history comes when they had least experienced batting line up and that too against a team which spoke about chasing 500-600 for fun!
