Chasing a victory target of 313, India were comfortably placed on the fifth and final day of Mumbai Test, with the scoreboard reading 75 for three.
But England turned the game on its head, dismissing Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar in quick succession and following it up with the wickets of Sehwag and Dhoni. India were bundled out for a paltry 100 - their seventh lowest total at home soil.
The last seven wickets falling for the addition of just 25 runs to the total is the worst ever seven-wicket collapse for India in the fourth innings of a Test.
