On this day in 2016, India pulled off a fantastic win against England in the fifth Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, wrapping up the series with a 4-0 scoreline. The match featured some standout performances from players like Karun Nair, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja.

England started strong in their first innings, racking up 477 runs. Debutant Liam Dawson shone with a solid 66 not out, and Moeen Ali also made waves with a century.

Karun Nair's amazing triple century

India came back strong with an incredible batting display, racking up 759 for 7 declared, which was their highest score in Test cricket at that point. The standout moment was Karun Nair's amazing unbeaten 303, making him just the second Indian ever to hit a triple century in Tests, following in the footsteps of Virender Sehwag.

KL Rahul's heartbreaking close call

KL Rahul, opening the innings, made a huge impact with an impressive 199 runs. His batting combined both aggression and skill, setting a strong base for India's huge score. Unfortunately, he missed out on a well-earned double century by just one run.

Ravindra Jadeja weaves a tricky spell.

England started their second innings with a lot of grit, managing to score 97 runs without losing a wicket by lunch on the fifth day, despite facing a big deficit. But as the day went on, the pitch started to help the spinners a bit more. Ravindra Jadeja took full advantage of this, putting on an impressive bowling display. He achieved his first seven-wicket haul in Test cricket, ending with remarkable figures of 7 for 48, which led to England crumbling to 207 runs. Jadeja's performance was key in India clinching the match by an innings and 75 runs.

This win not only wrapped up the match but also secured a 4-0 series victory for India. Captain Virat Kohli earned the Player of the Series title for his 655 runs, while Karun Nair was named Player of the Match for his incredible innings of 303 not out.
