No Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami and Rishabh Pant for the entire

series. No KL Rahul for three matches. No Ravindra Jadeja for 2nd

Test. No Jasprit Bumrah for the fourth Test. No Ravichandran Ashwin
for more than a day. India's top 6, for two matches, had less combined
experience than Ben Stokes. Yet, England suffered an array of three
straight defeats to concede the series 1-3 against India. On Monday,
the visitors lost the fourth Test match of the series by five wickets,
despite taking a first-innings lead in Ranchi. Following the loss, former
India cricketer Virender Sehwag handed England a terrifying reality as
booking a place in the World Test Championship final now seems out
of reach.

When England had began Day 4 of the fourth Test, they had a 134-
run lead with India's tail exposed and Dhruv Jurel, who was playing
his second international game, was the home team's last batting hope.
However, combining with India No. 9 Kuldeep Yadav, Jurel put on a
valiant show to score 90 in their 76-run stand as India managed to
reduce the deficit in the first innings to just 46 runs.
