File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: Indian cricket team's inexorable performance against The British resulted a 4-0 series win in Chennai. Virat Kohli led the side by an example and averaged more than 109 in the five-match test series. His captaincy, on and off the field leadership skills showed the maturity he gained of late. Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly also appreciated the ineffable success of Kohli's team. Ganguly said, "India are a deserved winners of the series, the whole team has been exceptional. Everyone stood to the occasion when needed. The captain stood by an example, played some terrific knocks and captained brilliantly." The former Indian captain also gave special credit to the players as he said, "To win in pitches which are not rank turners, speaks volumes of the spin attack. The spinners worked hard for their wickets. The difference between the two teams were lack of quality spin attacks by England, you can't win in the sub-continent with this spin attack." Ganguly lauded the appetite of this Indian team as he mentioned, "This team has the hunger to win to do well in test matches. But the real test will be when they go overseas in England, Australia, South Africa and do well. This team has it in them to do well abroad." The Prince of Kolkata was highly impressed by the performances of the youngsters. He said, "There is a healthy competition in the team, with Karun Nair scoring triple hundred the place for Rohit Sharma seems difficult in the test matches, Ajinkya Rahane is a natural choice as he has scored and proved in different and difficult conditions. It's too early to say Karun Nair a star but the kid has in him the temperament to do good in big occasions." Sourav also predicted India's dominance in test cricket in near future as he predicted, "India is going to win the next five tests, one with Bangladesh and four with Australia, at home".
