Really proud of this Indian team. This is a great test win. All 4 pace bowlers were superb and Kohli led from the front. Excellent contributions from Bhuvi and Rahane. One to cherish for a long time.

To all the emotional characters on social media… match officials made the call on the pitch. NOT players. Please let’s not judge the players. A great test by 2 great teams!
