India have understood the conditions brilliantly along with game scenarios based on the way entire Indian Team has approached this series is phenomenal especially after the retirement of two India’s classy stalwarts which include- Rohit Sharma and Virat kohli.
The feat achieved by this young team should be celebrated brilliantly based on the way they showed resistance against Three Lions.
