India beat England by a resounding 434-run margin in the third Test at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot to take a 2-1 lead in the series on Sunday.
Led by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s belligerent second-innings double-hundred, India set a mammoth 557-run target for Ben Stokes’ side on Day Four. The visitors crumbled in the chase, eventually being bundled for a 122.
The win helped India move to the second spot in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 points table, behind New Zealand, who lead the charts with a points percentage (PCT) of 75 after four Tests. Defending champions Australia stand third with a 55 PCT.
