And it’s a great feeling walking off with a series win. Huge credit to both teams for the way they have played. Both teams have shown amazing character. When Ashwin was hitting like that and with just 60 odd left, we were a bit down, and thinking could they do it? Brilliant feeling any time you win any Test match of a series particularly against a number side in the world,” he added.

We were very proud as a bowling unit, we have adapted really nicely. When Kohli and Rahane were going like that.
