India registered a sensational vitory over England in the second Test to level the series 1-1. Chasing 482 runs, England resumed Day 4 at the Chepauk but India bundled out the visitors for 164 runs to win the match by 317 runs.
Ashwin who is in great form returned to haunt England on Day 4, having tormented them with both bat and ball on the previous day and removed Ben Stokes & Lawrence to kick-start the proceedings for India. Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav finally also bagged a wicket and debutant Axar Patel grabbed five scalps in the 2nd innings.
England struggled to keep the scoreboard ticking against a wicked pitch. With India going 1-1 in the series against England, its hopes to qualify for the World test Championship finals against New Zealand hangs in balance as Indian need to win the remainder of the two games to play the finals at Lord's.
The hero of the match Ashwin displayed a great performance. After smashing a brilliant century, Ashwin returned to do what he does best, as he dismissed Rory Burns before end of play on day 3. Just before stumps, Ashwin accounted for Burns while Axar scalped two quick wickets of Sibley and Jack Leach. After losing 3 wickets for 53 runs, England needed 429 runs to win the match in the remaining two days of play but it failed to chase the target.
