Yashasvi Jaiswal became only the third Indian batsman to score consecutive Test double hundreds as India completed a record 434-run win against England in the third match of their five-Test series.
Jaiswal was 214 not out – following on from his 209 in Visakhapatnam – as India declared at 4-430 off 98 overs in their second innings on day four on Sunday to set the tourists an improbable 557 runs for victory.
England was then routed for 122 runs off just 39.4 overs in little more than one session, falling to their heaviest Test defeat by runs since World War II.
Ravindra Jadeja picked up 5-41 to bowl India to what had seemed an unlikely day four win, as the hosts took a 2-1 lead in the series.
India won the second Test by 106 runs after England beat the hosts by 28 runs in the opener.
It was India’s biggest Test win by runs. Its previous best came in a 372-run victory over New Zealand at Mumbai in 2021.
