India vs England: India's comeback was made possible by the all-round genius of local lad Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a century and picked up 8 wickets in the match, and a belligerent ton from the blade of Rohit Sharma in the first innings.

India made a roaring comeback into the four-match Test series against England as they wrapped up the second Test at Chennai by 317 runs on the fourth day to level the series 1-1. The victory is a huge shot in the arm for Virat Kohli's team, who were decimated in the opening Test by the visitors on the same venue. The triumph was made possible by the all-round genius of local lad Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a century and picked up 8 wickets in the match, and a belligerent ton from the blade of Rohit Sharma in the first innings.

India's victory on the fourth day was a matter of time with England already three wickets down in their second innings at stumps on day 3. Skipper Joe Root and Dan Lawrence, the overnight batsmen, had the onerous task of keeping Ravichandran Ashwin at bay on a track that was taking vicious turn from day 1 and they didn't succeed for too long.

Ashwin sent back Lawrence for 26, the England number three stumped after trying to negate the turn by stepping out. Ben Stokes joined skipper Root and tried his best to stop the inevitable, but succeeded only for 511 deliveries, after which he too was sent packing by Ashwin, an inside edge caught by the close in fielders.

India's victory was set up on day 1 by the brilliance of Rohit Sharma, who dominated England's attack to vindicate Kohli decision to bat first after winning the toss even as wickets fell around him. Rohit's power packed 161 was complimented by a studied 67 from the blade of Ajinkya Rahane. Rishabh Pant scored an attacking 58 and stayed unbeaten as India were bowled out for 329 on the second morning

The next two matches will be played in Ahmedabad with the third Test being a day-night affair, to be contested from February 24.
