India skipper Virat Kohli picked up the man of the match as the Indians completed an emphatic 246-run win over England in the second Test match at the ADA VCA Stadium in Vizag. This proved to be India’s second biggest win over England in a Test match and also their first Test match win at this venue.

While it was Kohli who took away the trophy, the highlights as far as the Indians were concerned was the simple fact that Jayant Yadav was one of the most impressive players in the match. The 27-year old spinner had a plethora of praise heaped on him following his impressive batting and bowling performance.

The final day saw eight of the remaining England wickets fall, most of which went to the spinners. Jonny Bairstow was the only one who made a futile attempt, something that was most unprecedented, to say the least. While he would go on to remain unbeaten at the close of the match, the irresponsibility shown by the others was quite poor.

Mohammad Shami was also one who was lauded courtesy of the fact that  he helped his side lay a claim to the all-important wicket of Joe Root towards the close of the first session of the day. Jayant Yadav picked the last two wickets with the final two deliveries of the Test match as Stuart Broad and James Anderson was well and truly dismissed.
