India needed two wickets to win on day four and debutant Shahbaz Nadeem put the finishing touches on yet another comprehensive Indian win. He sealed the deal in the fifth and the sixth delivery of his first over of the day after Mohammed Shami bowled a decent one in the day’s first.
Virat Kohli & Co, who consolidated their top spot in the ICC World Test Championship, will go home with a lot of positives.
