‘A moment to cherish’: Twitterati congratulate Team India for Test series win over England | Cricket News – Times of India


NEW DELHI: As India wrapped up the series with a comprehensive innings and 25 runs victory over England in the fourth and final Test to win the series 3-1 in Ahmedabad on Saturday, former cricketers and fans took to Twitter to congratulate the Indian team.
India bounced back brilliantly after losing the first Test by 227 runs in Chennai, winning the next three matches comfortably. They leveled the series 1-1 with a 317 runs victory in Chennai, before the contest moved to Ahmedabad. India took the lead with a commanding 10 wickets victory in the third Test which folded up in just two days, before Saturday’s triumph sealed their spot in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand at Lord’s.

After taking a massive 160-run first innings lead on the third day, Ravichandran Ashwin (5-47) and Axar Patel (5-48) bundled out the visitors for 135 in their second innings to end the series on a high.
“A moment to cherish for #TeamIndia. ICC World Test Championship Final – Here we come..”, BCCI tweeted after the victory.

“Congratulations Team India on an awesome Test Series victory. England didn’t lose it in Ahmedabad. They lost it here [a picture of the brain],” Sehwag wrote, indicating England lost the contest in their heads.

“Kohli’s leadership this Test match allowed young guns like Axar, Rishabh and Washie to play with freedom and dominate the game. It takes a special leader to elevate other players around them through body language and passion when their personal performance has been down,” AB de Villiers wrote in praise of Virat KOhli‘s leadership.
