India's 4-1 Test Win Over England Inspires Memes As Fans Bid Goodbye to Bazball

And there you have it! England found themselves utterly outmatched in Dharamsala, vanquished in just over a session as Ravichandran Ashwin showcased his mastery with a record-breaking 36th Test five-wicket haul in his monumental 100th match for India in the longest format. With a resounding victory by an innings and 64 runs, India secured the series triumph with a commanding 4-1 scoreline, etching Rohit Sharma’s name in the annals of cricket history as the pioneer captain for such a stunning comeback from a 0-1 deficit. Truly, the once formidable ‘Bazball’ juggernaut was dismantled with remarkable ease by Sharma’s formidable men, who performed nothing short of legendary!

No surprise, the internet erupted in a frenzy of memes, with Indians relishing every moment of taunting the ‘Bazball’ and poking fun at England’s expense, celebrating their triumph in style.

During the match, Jasprit Bumrah, donning the captain’s hat on Day 3 in the absence of Rohit Sharma due to a stiff back, showcased his prowess by claiming two wickets, joined by Kuldeep Yadav with an equal contribution, while Ravindra Jadeja added one more to the tally. The final English wicket to succumb in this series belonged to Joe Root, who valiantly battled with the bat, notching up 84 runs off 128 balls.

England’s top-order crumbled under Ashwin’s relentless assault within the initial 10 overs of their second innings on Day 3, following India’s dismissal for 477. Subsequently, they spiralled further, losing five wickets in just over half a session before Lunch, with Ashwin snatching four scalps and Kuldeep adding three more to his name. Ashwin then sealed his five-wicket haul with the dismissal of Ben Foakes shortly after the resumption of play, following which Bumrah’s fiery spell accounted for two more wickets in a single over, leaving England teetering with only two batsmen remaining.

Despite a resilient stand from Shoaib Bashir alongside Root, amassing 48 runs for the penultimate wicket, Bashir eventually succumbed to Jadeja’s guile on 13, paving the way for Root’s audacious bid for a century. However, his aspirations were cut short as he fell prey to Bumrah’s delivery, drawing curtains on both the match and the series.

In a fitting finale, Yashasvi Jaiswal emerged triumphant, clinching the Player of the Series award, joining the elite ranks alongside Sunil Gavaskar as only the second Indian to amass 700 runs in a single series!

Truly, Indian cricketers continue to dazzle with their unmatched skill and determination, leaving fans everywhere in awe!

Indian cricketers are on another drill and we are just loving it!
