**India Dominates, Thrashing England in the Fifth Test to Seal Series 4-1**
In a resounding victory, India clinched the series 4-1 by defeating England in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala. Premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed a fifer in his 100th Test, contributing to England's downfall.
India's massive 259-run lead in the first innings set the stage for their triumph, posting 477 all out in response to England's 218. Veteran James Anderson reached the historic milestone of 700 Test wickets but couldn't prevent India's dominance.
Ashwin's stellar performance, with figures of 5 for 77, led to England's downfall as they were bowled out for 195 in the third day's afternoon session. Captain Joe Root was the lone ranger for England, scoring 84, but couldn't prevent the inevitable.
India's young players, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, seized the opportunities in the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami. The series showcased India's depth and potential, marking a remarkable success.
England's aggressive approach failed, and the series defeat leaves them with much to ponder before the start of the English summer. Despite challenges, India's performance underlines their strength and adaptability.
