India lost the 5th and final Test Match Vs England @ The Oval, London as hosts England completed a 4-1 series win.
However, there were many positives for Indian cricket despite the crushing defeat. Hanuma Vihari impressed on debut, Ravindra Jadeja's solid performance with both the bat and ball, KL Rahul's scintillating century and Rishabh Pant's maiden Test hundred. Pant showed India might have finally found a replacement for MS Dhoni behind the stumps. The 20-year-old's knock also helped him enter the record books as he became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a century in the fourth innings of a Test.
