5 big records that were broken during India's five-wicket win in 4th Test in Ranchi 

India secured a thrilling victory against England in the fourth Test match of the ongoing series in Ranchi, successfully chasing down a tricky target of 192 runs on the fourth day. This win not only sealed the five-match series 3-1 in their favor but also extended their remarkable streak of 17 consecutive Test series wins at home.

The match was closely fought, with both teams showcasing resilience and determination throughout the four days. After opting to bat first, England made their way to 353 in their first innings before reducing India to 177/7.

Dhruv Jurel (90) and Kuldeep Yadav (28) then rescued India and kept England's first-innings lead to just 46 runs. The visitors were bundled out for only 145 in their second innings, with Kuldeep and Ravichandran Ashwin sharing nine wickets between them.

Chasing 192 in the fourth innings, Rohit Sharma (55) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (37) gave a great start to the host before England spinners put India in a precarious situation. At 120/5, another wicket would've easily cost India the game.

However, Jurel (39*) and Shubman Gill, who looked comfortable during his unbeaten 52, took India home. Gill's composure and Jurel's solidity proved crucial in navigating a tense period for the hosts.

The match also saw some new records set and old ones overhauled. On that note, here are five of the biggest records that were broken in the fourth Test between India and England.
