India would probably have won anyway but it was Cook's wicket late yesterday that probably broke England's back,

India needed eight wickets on Day 5 to beat England, and considering the brilliant batting display from the visitors, a hard fought final day was expected.
But the win came rather too soon, just after the lunch with Indian spinners once again weaving their magic.
Skipper Kohli was adjudged Man of the Match for his 248 runs, which included a brilliant 167 in the first essay.
The first Test at Rajkot ended in a high-scoring draw with as six batsmen scoring hundreds. The third match will be played at Mohali, starting November 26.
