India blast their way past Bazball to seal Test series win against England

India win the fifth and final Test in three days to take the series against England 3-1 as Bazball is questioned again.
India maintained their aura of invincibility at home after completing a 4-1 series triumph against England on Saturday.
The ease of their final win may well subject the visitors’ much-hyped “Bazball” approach to renewed scrutiny.
Rohit Sharma and his men clinched the series in the fourth Test in Ranchi but did not take their foot off the pedal in Dharamshala, where they routed England inside three days.
The win, which consolidates two-time finalists India’s position at the top of the World Test Championship standings, will have a special place in the memory of Ravichandran Ashwin.
The India off-spinner claimed five second-innings wickets to hasten England’s collapse in his 100th test match.
