    India beat England by five wickets to bag Test series in Ranchi
    The fifth and final Test will begin in Dharamshala on March 7.

    Digital Desk: India batters Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel put together a 72-run partnership as India beat England by five wickets in the fourth Test match in Ranchi and took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

    On Monday, after being reduced to 120-5 while chasing a goal of 192 runs in the fourth innings, India's undefeated combination of Gill (52) and Jurel (39) saw them home with ease on the fifth day of the Test.

    The visitors contained India's batting until Gill and Jurel stabilized the pursuit, thanks to three wickets taken by young England spinner Shoaib Bashir.

    India bounced back from England's victory in the opening Test of the series in Hyderabad to win the next two in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot, then secure the series in Ranchi.

    The fifth and final Test will begin in Dharamshala on March 7.
