England defied odds by comprehensively defeating India in the first Test in Chennai to go 1-0 up in the four-match series. With one more Test scheduled in the same venue and a day-night Test in Ahmedabad to come, the visitors will fancy their chances of winning the series and pull off a huge surprise. A spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final is also at stake and the result of the first Test would most definitely have interested Australia who don’t have destiny in their own hands.
On day 5, it was the English bowlers who shone by hitting excellent lines and lengths, aided by a deteriorating pitch. Chasing 420 to win and needing 381 when the day began, India’s hopes took a huge hit when Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed very soon. The wickets then kept falling and despite stubborn resistance from skipper Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin, England bowled out India for 192 and won the Test by 227 runs.
Soon after the Test got over, fans and former cricketers took to Twitter to express their reactions. Here are a few such ones.
