Indian Team wins Test series against England in a great manner and is on a high

When England came to India to play five test series- a rarity in India in last almost 10 years, and that too with England was an exciting news.
It was not expected of England to put up a tough fight, but may be draw 2 matches or more and may be win at least one. However, when India beat England by an innings and 75 runs in the final test at Chennai, it was a sad ending in the test series for England. They had two innings run defeat. So, they would like to introspect where they were liking. Perhaps the answer is lack of good quality spinners and not playing very well against Ashwin and Jadeja.
The Indian team’s win was a result of great efforts by Virat Kohli who scored 600+ runs in this series, R.Ashwin who took 25+ wickets as well as hit great runs, R.Jadeja who was useful with bat and took 20+ wickets as well(need to check if both Ashwin and Jadeja took same number of wickets).
Some other achievers were:
=> Jayant Yadav who bowled well as well as scored a 100 in one of the matches and gave good company to Virat Kohli.
=>Karun Nair who made 303 in Chennai and became the second player only from India to make 300+.
=>Lokesh Rahul who missed on a double century in Chennai when he was bowld out for 199.
Together Karun and Lokesh took India to a massive 700+ and led India to make its highest score in test matches so far.
Shami and Umesh Yadav too bowled great at crucial times.
Parthiv Patel as keeper and batsman was not the best, but he played some crucial knocks and kept the wickets well enough.

Now India has had 18 matches without losing and on current form might even challenge the West Indian record of 28 in the 1980s.
With batsmen like Karun Nair, Kohli, L.Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara and allrounder of the calibre of Ashwin, India even looks likely to become a team like the Aussies under Steve Waugh and later Ricky Ponting.

Yes, the series on foreign soil will be important but Indian team looks all ready.
Let us keep our fingers crossed and see how Indian team goes from here!
