Winning captain Rohit Sharma speaks at the post-match presentation ceremony

"When you win a Test like this, everything has to fall in place. At some stage people are gonna and people are gonna come and we know that. These guys are maybe short of experience, they have played a lot of cricket and I can stand here and see that these guys responded pretty well under pressure. The credit goes to the entire team and it was pleasing to see. When you win a series like this, we talk about scoring runs and 100s but it is important to take 20 wickets to win a Test. The way bowlers took responsibility was pleasing to see. It was over a period of time that we had a conversation (with Kuldeep), he's got a lot of potential and when the chips were down in the 1st innings, he bowled really well and after his injury he came back and worked at NCA and he is putting a lot of effort and the most pleasing thing was his batting. He's (talking about Jaiswal) got a long way to go, amazing to be in this position. When a guy's got talent like that who can put pressure on the bowlers from the word go, there will be lots of challenges going forward. He is a tough guy and loves the challenges, clearly superb series for him and likes to score big," Rohit said.

Player of the Series Yashasvi Jaiswal speaks after the match

"I really enjoyed the series, happy with the way I played throught the series. I was just thinking if I can take a bowler down, I will take him down and that's the plan and there's no backing out. Trying to take it one game at a time and always thinking of how I can contribute for my team so that I can keep the team in a winning position," Yashasvi said.

Man of the Match Kuldeep Yadav on his performance and India's win

"Yes (When asked if this was the best he ever bowled in a series). It is the hardwork I did in the last couple of years and I am getting the reward. I really bowled well in Ranchi, the wicket was slow and the way I used the drift over there was fantastic. I liked the Stokes wicket in Ranchi and also like the Crawley wicket, that was a beautiful ball. I just focus on keeping it on a good length and that is very important for a spinner in a fomat and not thinking too much about what the batter is trying to do. I really liked my rhythm. Credit goes to batting coach, he helped me a lot. Not just the skill aspect, but also the mental aspect. Always backing me in the net sessions," Kuldeep said.

Losing captain Ben Stokes speaks after the match

"We have been outplayed by the better team of the series. We got so much cricketing coming up, so looking forward to it. When you look at the series as a whole, in those small moments we haven't been able to keep it going. We all know as individuals as to where it all went wrong. When India get on top with the ball a lot men come around the bat and you got to find ways to keep those guys out of play and you need to be positive enough to take those risks and sometimes it could lead to downfall. Crawley and Duckett continuing their partnership at the top and Bashir and Hartley have been really exceptional the whole series and Root coming into form at the backend is really exciting ahead of our summer. Amazing to be on the field with Jimmy. 700 wickets for a seamer is quite phenomenal, from the day he first started being a cricketer to where he is now, the desire and commitment is still there and he if the fittest cricketer I have ever seen," Stokes said.

Record-breaking Ravichandran Ashwin speaks after the match

"Very happy, can't really put a wrapper on how I'm feeling. Lot happened, lot of talk about the 100th Test. Overwhelmed, a lot of well-wishers have come forward. Win the Test and take wickets, what more can a bowler ask for? Tried different actions, speeds, releases through the series. You need that skillset in India. Pleased with how the ball came out today, even though I went for a few. Cricket is a game played between your ears. Looks like a lot is happening because the new ball is biting off the surface. [Experimentation] Not insecure about what people feel about me. We have to get criticised. I take it on board, I lock away what I learn. If I'm confident of trying and executing something, I will try that. The amount of cricket we play, and the analysis, batters will line you up if you don't change. Sticking to one method won't work. [Bowling with Kuldeep] From the far end there was more bite, from the other end more speed. With the new ball I got some bounce and kick today. The way the ball is coming out of Kuldeep's hand is unbelievable, I can't be more happy for somebody."

Done and dusted

India win the match, as Joe Root gets caught at long on. End of an amazing Test match here at Dharamsala. We can see the jersey no 99 leading the team off the field, as he took a brilliant fifer to rattle the English batters in the first session itself.

Skipper Rohit Sharma comes back to the field to applaud the boys for their fantastic effort. Players are shaking their hands and congratulating the winning team for the victory. At the end, it is India who won the game by an innings and 64 runs.

And with that win, it's the end of India's domestic season, as the focus now shifts to the all-important Indian Premier League, starting in a two weeks' time.

WICKET!

Ravindra Jadeja joins the party to give England another hiccup. Shoaib Bashir departs after a brief stay at the crease. The ball was pitched just a bit above good length, and Bashir missed the line of that one completely. India are just a wicket away from a historic win at Dharamsala.

RECAP - Jasprit Bumrah's double strike

Mar 9 2024 1:10 PM

Fifty for Joe Root!!!

Joe Root reaches his fifty. He has been the only guiding light for England today. Excellent innings under great pressure.

Mar 9 2024 12:59 PM

Just couldn't get 'Wood'

Jasprit Bumrah strikes twice in the same over. This time, its Mark Wood who couldn't get any wood on the ball, as the umpire raises finger yet again. The batter does review it this time, but in absolute vain, as the ball tracking suggests the on-field call to be retained. So Bumrah has two wickets in the match, and the only Indian pacer to get wickets Dharamsala. Well, well, well!!!

Mar 9 2024 12:56 PM

Absolutely plumb!!!

Tom Hartley departs, as Jasprit Bumrah undoes him with a straight delivery, catching the batter's pads. The umpire had no hesitation whatsoever in raising his fingers, and Hartley didn't even think of referring that one upstairs. England in all sorts of trouble now, as the end seems near. But Joe Root is still thereπŸ‘€
