After losing the first Test in Hyderabad by a close margin of 28 runs, India fought back in style to win the remaining four Tests against England. Wins in Vizag, Rajkot, Ranchi, and now Dharamsala have helped the side return to the top position in the ICC Test Team Rankings.
England's James Anderson reached 700 Test wickets early in the day to be just the third bowler to achieve the feat, but the tourists were never in the game.
Jaiswal's was the only wicket to fall on ay one for India, with the opener dismissed for a quickfire 57. However, he rewrote the record books during the feisty innings.
Yadav returned figures of 5-72 and, along with fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who took four wickets in his landmark 100th Test, bowled out the tourists in just 57.4 overs at the picturesque Dharamsala stadium
Padikkal becomes the fifth India player to make his Test debut in the ongoing series. He replaced Rajat Patidar, who sustained an ankle injury during training on the eve of the match.

Bairstow will win his 100th cap as England, who have already lost the series 3-1, try to salvage some pride in the high-altitude and chilly Himalayan hill town.

"Double hundred. Double fifty. This duo of Yashasvi & Sarfaraz has been double trouble for England," cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar wrote on X
England's bold tactics under Stokes and coach Brendon 'Baz' McCullum have revitalised Test cricket and India, who have not lost a Test series on home soil since 2012, were always going to be a litmus test of that philosophy.
The hosts reached 44-1 at tea in their second innings at Rajkot after part-time spinner Joe Root dismissed skipper Rohit Sharma lbw for 19.
Ashwin became only the ninth bowler to hit the landmark and only the second from India after Anil Kumble (619)
Rohit registered his 11th Test century soon after the tea break

The series is level at 1-1 after two matches that Kohli also missed, and will resume without him in Rajkot for the third Test starting Thursday.
Debutant Hartley delivered one of the greatest overseas wins in England's history, claiming a magnificent seven to down India in the first Test at Hyderabad and complete a classic comeback.
