"I don't think we put enough pressure on them with the ball in the first half. Collectively as a bowling unit, fast bowlers and Ash, were good in the first innings but we also needed to contain a few more runs and create pressure. Having said that, it was a slow wicket and not helping the bowlers which made it easy for the batsmen to rotate the strike and get into the game. Just looked like not much happening in it on the first two days," said Kohli at the post-match presentation.
The man who orchestrated this victory is none other than skipper Joe Root: Jack Leach
"This is a brilliant victory for England. The senior pros like Anderson, Root and Stokes made vital contributions but it was also the newcomers - Sibley, Bess and Leach - playing their first game in India and putting up some noticeable performances. Sibley added the all-important 200-run partnership with his skipper, Bess was the chief wrecker with the ball in the first innings while Leach, who took a fair amount of beating in the first, came back strongly to pick up four second-innings wickets. But the man who orchestrated this victory is none other than skipper Joe Root. He won a good toss but England still needed to bat well and he took that responsibility, carrying on from where he had left off in Sri Lanka to record a magnificent double hundred and not to forget a quickfire 40 in the second essay," said Jack Leach.

Wind blows the bail off
Archer to Ishant and there is the sound of bails falling on the ground. Did Ishant hit the wickets and gave England the winning moment? No, it was the wind that blew off the zing bail. It's been given a dead ball and England need to wait for the moment.
FOUR, FOUR: Some aggression from Bumrah
Back to back boundaries from Jasprit Bumrah to Jack Leach amid the collapse. This two shots will stretch India's outing at Chepauk a bit.
Nadeem departs for duck
Back to back ducks for Shahbaz Nadeem. Jack Leach strikes and claims his fourth wicket in this innings. He also completes 50 scalps in the longest format of the game. IND: 179/9, ENG need one wicket to win.
Stokes to Kohli: BOWLED
OUT! That's a huge wicket for England. Ben Stokes cleans up Virat Kohli and the visitors needs just two wickets to win this game. Good length ball, the Indian captain looks to defend but gets beaten by the lack of bounce. Kohli departs for 72, IND: 179/8.
Milestone awaits for Leach
Spinner Jack Leach is one wicket away from completing 50 scalps in the longer format of the game. He has picked up 3 wickets in this match so far.
Time for drinks
India are now 7 wickets down with Kohli fighting at the centre. All he needs strong support from the other end so that this game can be saved. IND: 175/7, need 245 runs to win.
Stokes to Kohli: FOUR
FOUR! Amazing pull shot from the Indian captain. Short and outside off, Kohli turns around and sends it behind square.
Leach to Ashwin: OUT!
WICKET! Third one for Jack Leach and Ashwin walks back. Ashwin looked to play the cut shot but was beaten by the extra bounce. He ended up nicking it behind to Buttler. India 7 down for 171.
Ben Stokes into the attack
Time to see Ben Stokes in action with the ball. The all-rounder comes into the attack and Kohli welcomes him with a boundary. Short of a length and the Indian captain shuffles a bit and drives beautifully through covers.
Ashwin survives LBW scare
Leach to Ashwin, 1 run - leg byes. Huge appeal from England players but umpire Anil Chaudhary say NO. England opt to review it. Ball-tracking confirms that the ball was bouncing over and impact is over 2.5 meters.
