Virat Kohli, who scored 97 in first innings and 103 in the second, was awarded the Man of the Match for the third Test. India put an all-round show to outclass the hosts England and clinch a resounding victory. By the virtue of this win, Virat Kohli has achieved yet another feat as this was team India's 7th Test victory in England in the history of 86 years of bilateral cricket.

Speaking at the post-match award ceremony, Kohli dedicated the hard-fought victory to Kerala flood victims and said that it is time to unite as a nation and help our people in need.
