Ranchi: India registered a thumping 5-wicket victory over England on the 4th day of the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. With this victory, India now takes an unassailable 3-1 lead over the visitors in the five-match Test series.
India continued their domination in home Tests as they extended their record unbeaten streak at home to 17-0. England were the last team to beat India in a Test series at home, clinching a 2-1 win in 2012.

The victory in the fourth Test helped India take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series with the last match to take place in Dharamsala from 7 March.
Overall, since the 2012 Test series against England, India has won a total of 39 out of 51 Tests, losing just four times – two times each to Australia and England.
