Ranjit b: "Australia used to have this mindset of seeking win out of nowhere. today, India showed the intent and got the result. best motivation.

Mahesh: "The total number of overs bowled is 173.2 (less than 180). That means the match is finished within two days, including the innings breaks. Wow, what a turnaround after two days of washout. Kudos to the Indian Team for making a game out of it and winning it comfortably."

Rags: "India demonstrated real bazball in Kanpur"

Sunil : "I must say the WTC is the best thing to happen to Test cricket in recent times. We've had too many dreary series with no context in the past. Competing in the WTC gives teams a motivation to win even dead rubbers. Aggressive approaches are reviving audience interest in Tests now. India's refreshing approach in this test has to be particularly lauded. Now if only someone could revive ODIs!

Rohit, India captain: We all keep going. Obviously at some stage we had to start working with different personnel. When Rahul bhai said he was done working here. We had a fantastic time but life moves on. Gautam Gambhir, I've played with him and know what sort of mindset he comes in with. Early days but it's been a good start. Once we lost two and a half days, when we came on day 4 we wanted to get them out as quickly as possible and see what we can do with the bat. When they got bowled out for 230, it wasn't about the runs we get but the overs we got at them. Pitch didn't have much. To make a game out of it on that pitch was a superb effort. It was a risk we were willing to take because when you're trying to bat like that, you can be bundled out for a low score. But we were ready for it even if we got bowled out for 100-150. He's been good (talking about Akash Deep). Lot of domestic cricket he has played. When you come up through the ranks like that, there are a lot of overs in the legs. He has the quality and the skill. Good body as well - can bowl long spells. You have to make sure you prepare your bench strength.

Rohit collects the trophy, then goes over to his teammates and hands the trophy to Akash Deep as they pose for the photos. Another series win in the bag at home. They've now won six Tests in a row, just one away from equalling their longest winning streak in Tests. That chance will come shortly against NZ at home with three Tests scheduled from mid-October.

Sriram.veerarag: "A victory with one and half session remaining and two and half days of washout. That is an incredible play by Team India. "

SunilBsawta : "This boy Yashasvi has already proved himself worthy of being all format player for India and next best thing in the world cricket. I wonder how he has not yet made debut in ODIs yet !"

Saji: "I find India's hunger for a win is incredible. They are filled with self belief since last 2-4 years! "

Afaq: "The most impressive thing about this Indian teams bowling performance is this is still a good pitch to bat. There is barely 2 days of cricket being played, so there are no demons or rank turner vibes."
