Apart from Ashwin, debutant Axar Patel also had a good outing on a sharp-turning Chepauk track and completed a five-wicket haul in the second innings. Among the batsmen it was Rohit Sharma, who laid the perfect platform for the hosts after smashing 161 runs in the first innings. 

Team India rejoiced the moment and shared their thoughts on Twitter. Here are a few tweets:

This was England's biggest lost in Asia in terms of runs and with this win the four-match series is now leveled at 1-1.  

"I am enjoying my game and am really happy it happened in Chennai. Every load up gives a different result in terms of which way the pitch is behaving. I try and load up differently, use the breeze, use different angles to release the ball, speed of the run-up. This is working because I have created this awareness for myself. I have been playing it for the last 25 years. I really had to express myself," Ashwin said during the post-match presentation ceremony.
