On 12 December, India defeated England by an innings and 36 runs on day 5 of the fourth Test at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium to win the five-Test series 3-0.
By defeating England, India have regained the Anthony de mello trophy which was with England after they won here in 2012.
Ravichandran Ashwin displayed a brilliant performance - 12 wickets - with his spin as he picked all four wickets to crush the lower order batsmen within the first 30 minutes. Ashwin picked another 10-wicket haul in Tests, and also took five wickets in an innings for the 24th time.
With seven 10-wicket hauls in a Test, Ashwin is now only behind the legendary Anil Kumble (8).
