India beat England by 317 runs on the fourth day of the second test match with the tremendous contribution from all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin and Rohit Sharma.
Ashwin got a century with the bat and took 5 wickets with the ball in the first innings. Meanwhile, he also picked up 8 wickets in the game.
Apart from winning the game captain Virat Kohli is being criticised by former English players on his approach to umpires in the second Test match.
Michael Vaughan, working for the BBC’s Test Match Social, said: “You can’t have this, I’m sorry. Kohli is such a powerhouse, you can’t have him intimidating the umpire. It’s a stinker of a decision but you can’t be doing that as a captain.”
Former England captain Nasser Hussain said: “It was odd that the India team and their captain took the full 15 seconds to work out whether to review or not. They weren’t actually sure what they were reviewing for. If they were so certain that it was out and should have been given straight away, why did it take them so long?
“Kohli pushes the line with umpires and officials. Joe Root went up and asked in a very smiley sort of way about a review earlier in the game, but Kohli is a lot more animated when he speaks to them — which doesn’t look good.”
Virat and company has now levelled the series with this win and two more games are remaining in the series.
