“Our bench strength has been as strong as it has ever been. That’s a great sign for Indian cricket”

The 3-1 victory against England was Virat Kohli‘s 10th series win in a row at home as India captain. It extended India’s dominance at home to 13 straight series wins with their last home defeat coming against Alastair Cook’s England in 2012.
