  • The Indian team celebrate with the series trophy.

    An embarrassing batting collapse from England saw them lose 10 wickets for just 104 runs as they lost by an innings and 75 runs in the fifth Test against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

    When the opening pair of Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings were at crease, it looked like England would easily bat out the day for a draw. The duo were separated after adding 103 runs for the first wicket, following which England kept losing wickets at regular intervals before being bowled out for 207.

    Ravindra Jadeja starred for India with the ball – picking up career-best figures of 7-48.

    England were severely criticised for their batting efforts on Twitter with former captains Kevin Pietersen and Michael Vaughan slamming the performance of the visitors.

    On the other hand, there were a lot of congratulatory messages for the Indian team from legends of the game such as Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag.

    Here is a collection of all the top tweets.
