Former skipper Joe Root led the chase for the English side as he scored 142 runs in 173 deliveries and was well supported by Jonny Bairstow, who scored his 2nd century of this Test match and scored 114 runs off 145 deliveries during this innings.
This was England's highest run chase in Test cricket and also it was the highest run chase by any team in Test cricket history against India. England also became the first team to chase 250+ runs for the 4th consecutive time in Test cricket.
Talking about the game, the Indian team was able to set a big score in the first innings as Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja scored centuries to guide the Indian team to a score of 416 runs and in reply, England was not able to get off to a start that they would've liked and well all out for 284 runs with Jonny Bairstow leading from the front and scoring a century.
But, it all changed for the Indian team during the 2nd innings as they were all to for 245 runs in their 2nd innings which gave England a target of 378 runs with a day and a half to go.

The Indian team was favorites to defend this target at the start of England's 2nd innings but the English batsman came up with a positive mindset and got their team off to a flyer by scoring 107 runs with 21 over. Then came a mini-collapse for the batting side as England lost 3 quick wickets within a span of 3 overs and it all seemed a cake-walk for the Indian team from thereon.
But, in came the man of the moment Jony Bairstow who along with Joe Root did counterattack and made full use of the bad deliveries and stitched the match-winning partnership of 269 runs and took England to victory by 7 wickets as the Indian dream shattered of winning the Test series in England.
The series ended in a draw by 2-2.
