Ps India is the hardest place to win, only 2 bad sessions cost the young inexperienced Aussie team the series. Congrats again India

How will this Indian side fare overseas?
Great win by @BCCI. A perfectly balanced side and ability to exploit pitches with both pace and spin. A team capable of winning anywhere

India captain Virat Kohli called it the best series win of his tenure, and many others felt the cricket was exciting to watch.
Gee I hope the Ashes will be as keenly fought out as this India v Aust Series! Doubt it as the pitches are too flat for batsmen! #India

It's been a grand home season for India and what a joy that the best was saved for the last. Test cricket, come back soon.

What a terrific series though. Probably the best I've watched in India since 2001. Great comeback from India after the Pune debacle.#IndvAus

R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Cheteshwar Pujara played all 13 Tests in the long home season for India.
Congratulations Team India! Good end to a long long season. Get back home now @ashwinravi99

End of a great great season for India. 10-1 and two draws in the 13 home tests. The pace bowlers have been the unsung heroes for me.
