'Bazball conquered': India's series-clinching win over England sends social media into a frenzy

India successfully completed a tense chase to secure a five-wicket win against England in the fourth Test on Monday, thus taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

DAY 4 HIGHLIGHTS

Chasing a target of 192 seemed manageable for India as they reached 84 without any loss. However, the English spinners orchestrated a mini collapse, as the hosts slipped to 120 for 5.

But young guns Shubman Gill (52 not out) and Dhruv Jurel (39 not out) joined forces, forging an unbroken partnership of 72 runs for the sixth wicket, ultimately sealing India's victory on the penultimate day of the match.

Despite Shoaib Bashir's impressive figures of 3 for 79, adding to his five-wicket haul in the first-innings, England couldn't sustain their momentum in the series.

Here's how the cricket fraternity and fans on social media celebrated India's series-clinching victory in Ranchi:

The fifth and final Test of the series will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamasala from March 7.
