I am not saying it, the numbers are. With the victory in second Test against South Africa today, team India now tops the list of most number of Test series wins at home.
#cricket #WorldTestChampionship Fascinating. India overtakes Australia as the team with the most consecutive Test series wins at home.

Winning the match by an innings and 137 runs, Kohli and his men have maintained a 100 per cent record in the World Test Championship and if that doesn’t warrant them respect, I don’t know what will.

However, typical to his nature, he says he is far from satisfied and that resting isn’t an option for him or the team.
We were No 7 when we started out. The only way was up. We decided to work hard in every practice session. Really proud of the team. We’re not going to let the foot of the gas in the third Test. No one’s going to relax. That’s a guarantee.
