This win will be etched in India’s Test history as one of the best overseas wins. Shubman Gill’s 430, Akash Deep’s 10 wickets, Ravindra Jadeja’s twin innings and Mohammed Siraj’s 7 wickets will be remembered for ages.

Jaiswal was given out LBW for 28 in the eighth over by Josh Tongue. He had a chat with his partner KL Rahul and decided to review, not realising the timer had gone off. The umpires might have miscalculated and allowed…
