ENG v IND 2018: 5 major reasons why India came out on top against England in the 3rd Test

India won the third Test match by 203 runs against England.

Jasprit Bumrah’s five-wicket haul  

Jasprit Bumrah's five wickets made all the difference in the second innings | APIndia had a massive lead of 521 runs behind them when they came out to bowl in the fourth innings. However, the bowlers came out firing on all cylinders and were always looking for wickets. The fall of wickets began with Ishant Sharma sending back both the openers Jennings and Cook and then Bumrah took over with the wicket of Root.

After the massive partnership between Buttler and Stokes; Virat Kohli was looking for someone to break the partnership and took the second new ball as it became available and gave it to Bumrah. Bumrah gave an immediate result in the wickets of Buttler and Bairstow. He then removed the Lord’s centurion Woakes with a beauty of a short ball and after an annoying partnership between Broad and Rashid, removed Broad to complete his first five-wicket haul in England and his second in Tests.
