"Wanted to be on the field but getting that hundred was special. It was a great effort from batting unit. We just kept our head down and batted the situation. I don't think too much about that (lack of overseas hundred). It's important to embrace the challenge, back in Durham we had time off to look at our training and technique, after WTC we had 20-25 days and that was a game-changer."

in SPORTS

India beat England in the fourth Test match by a resounding 157 runs to take a 2-1 lead in a five match series. India, who lost their last Test match quite heavily, came back really strong in the game. Especially after looking down and out on Day One. It was a classic case of comeback and Kohli and his team showed they are not afraid to make things happen.

India pulled off a sensational 157-run win in the fourth Test against England, only their second-ever at The Oval and first at the venue after 1971, to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match series. This is also only the second time in history — after 1986 — that India have won two Tests on one tour of England.

They had beaten England by 151 runs in the second Test at Lord’s last month.
