"A bit of Sunburn, probably, to be honest"

England toured India in late 2016 (November and December) for an intriguing five-match Test series. Matches were played across Rajkot, Visakhapatnam, Mohali, Mumbai and Chennai. After the first Test match at Rajkot ended in a draw, India continued their excellent run at home by winning the next three Test matches. Both the teams entered the fifth Test match at Chennai with the hopes of ending the series on a high. On winning the toss, Captain Cook opted to bat, as his team managed 477 runs in their first innings.

In reply, India posted a massive 759-7 (dec) thanks largely to an astonishing triple-century from Karun Nair (303*) and KL Rahul's 199. India batted 190.4 overs in their first innings, much to the frustration of the hapless English bowlers who were unable to find any breakthroughs. When asked about the major takeaways from the third day's play (India batted the whole day), all-rounder Ben Stokes explained the condition of the hapless English bowlers under the scorching sun in Chennai in a witty manner. India won the Chennai Test by an innings and 75 runs to seal the series 4-0.
