This was a win for the collective. There were several outstanding individual performances, but India didn’t deviate from the central theme – ‘team before self’ — which was most heartening to see. To have the belief that 60 overs was enough time for the four-pronged pace attack to bowl England out a second time on what was a slow, placid surface shows how far India have come as a Test force,” VVS Laxman concluded.
