India vs England 4th Test: Shubman Gill, Dhurv Jurel clinch series win for India

Dhurv Jurel hit the winning runs as India clinched the 4th Test, and the series, on Day 4 of the match in Ranchi today. With half the side back in the dressing room, Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel stitched an impressive 72-run partnership to sea India through to a 5-wicket win.

Resuming Day four at 40 for no loss, India survived some anxious moments before chasing down the 192-run target in the afternoon session.  The unbeaten 72-run stand between Shubman Gill (52 not out off 124 balls) and Dhruv Jurel (39 not out off 77) helped India get over the line following a middle-order collapse.

In the morning session, Rohit Sharma (55 off 81) scored a crucial fifty and shared an 84-run stand with his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (37). However, the English spinners snapped up wickets at regular intervals with Shoaib Bashir being the pick of the bowlers (3/79 in 26 overs). Bashir got 2 in 2 balls when he dismissed Ravindra Jadeja and Sarfaraz Khan in consecutive balls, with the score readin 120/5.

Jurel, who survived the hattrick ball, stitched a patient partnership with Gill to take India home. India have now taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series with the final game to be played in Dharamsala from March 7.
