The Indian test team has been among the top test-playing nations in the last decade or so, from being placed at the lowly 7th place in 2014 to being the top-ranked test side for a consistent period is a big achievement.
The wrecker-in-chief for this win was the local boy Ravichandran Ashwin who first scored a fabulous ton on a difficult pitch to rescue India from a precarious position of 144-6 to 376 all out eventually, his partner in crime Ravindra Jadeja also played a crucial role by scoring a valiant 86. Ashwin took 6 wickets in the final innings of the test match to cap off the win.
