The win in Chennai was Kohli’s 21st victory in Tests at home. It is the joint-most by an Indian captain. He is tied with MS Dhoni and has the chance to overtake him in the next two Test matches.

Virat Kohli and R Ashwin batted beautifully in the second innings for India while Rohit Sharma’s hundred in the first innings set the tone of the match. Axar Patel was impressive on debut as he picked up a five-wicket haul while Kuldeep also chipped in with two wickets in the fourth innings.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.
