192 was chasable. After all the hard work in the first innings by KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja, it was a massive let down to get bundled out for 170 in the second innings. England didn't even had a quality spinner. Shoaib Bashir is miles away from achieving the sort of reputation that Jack Leach once held. So for England it was left to the pace-bowling quadrant of Chris Woakes, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Brydon Carse to get the crucial wickets. 
England scored 387 in first inning India also done same score even on one point India had chance of taking lead but Rishabh Pant run-out was turning point into this game because Rahul and Pant was doing good for fourth wicket partnership and things were completely favourable for India for minimum 500 runs.

In second inning, England were badly down due to slowness of pitch and quality bowling from India but here need to check one thing if England failed on fourth day of match on slow pitch then surely it's never been easy for India to chase this target even their best sides were never able to have chase in last 50 years their best chase was 171 and Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Brydon Carse done good job which was the main trigger  for India's lose.
