'All because of no world-class spinner'

For the second time in their Test history, India completed a 4-0 series win. Virat Kohli, the captain and the Man of the Series, was proud of his 'family'.

There were smiles all around in the Indian camp.

The hosts reclaimed the Anthony de Mello Trophy: they had lost the previous home series against England in 2012.

For England, it was the end of a tough tour of Bangladesh and India, one during which they lost five out of seven Tests.

For the young members of the squad, it was a sharp learning experience.

For some, the result was sweet revenge.

England scored 477 in their first innings and went on to lose by an innings; in the previous Test in Mumbai, they had scored 400 and lost by an innings.

India's lead spinners played a vital role, with both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja taking more than 25 wickets besides contributing with the bat.

The same could not be said for England, who had had Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar during their series win in India in 2012.

The result also brought Alastair Cook's captaincy under discussion.
