Kept my head down and batted the situation and once we got the lead, we wanted to put pressure on the opposition.” – says Rohit Sharma after the win.

The Indian players have showcased their A game since the first day of the India vs. England test match. If they continue to maintain their form, they might even win the series with an already taken the lead.

“Tough situations build strong people. Onto the next one,” Kohli said in a tweet after the win.
