Another fantastic win for Team India, series done and dusted! So many architects of this triumph though the hero was young Dhruv Jurel. Shubman was brilliant in a tense chase while the experienced hands made their presence felt too at crucial stages! Terrific way for Akash Deep… pic.twitter.com/mjcFH4bmiE

Always admired Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Overcoming the absence of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, turning the tide after trailing in the first innings, and clinching the series victory underscore his exceptional leadership and the team’s resilience. #INDvsENG
