India completed a victory by an innings and 36 runs against England in the fourth test in Mumbai.

Ashwin picked up 6 wickets in the second innings to wrap up the England inning in the fifth day of the match. But the star however was the skipper and man of the match Virat Kohli with his third double hundred of the year. Murali Vijay and Jayant Yadav completed their centuries to post a huge total of 631 in India's first innings.

After the match, Virat Kohli said "It's a very special feeling. The way the crowd came out here and supported it helped us push through the tough moments. The 231-run lead deflated the opposition, we saw their body language and knew the game was wrapped up when we had that lead."
