What was Virat Kohli's first reaction to India's victory?
Virat kohli praised the indian team for winning the fourth Test against england by 5 wickets and winning the series. england has toured india to play a 5-match Test Series (IND vs ENG Test Series). After adopting a baseball approach, the McCullum-Ben Stokes-led england team arrived in india with an unbeaten Test series record. Similarly, england won the first match in Hyderabad. But, it seems that the indian team did not let the baseball approach on its own soil. india maintained their dominance in the series with stunning wins in the 2nd and 3rd matches held in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot. Subsequently, the fourth Test match which started on the 23rd in ranchi (Ranchi Test) ended on the fourth day today. Notably, these four matches did not go on to the fifth day and all the matches were completed on the fourth day itself. india also won the series by winning the fourth match.
India have not lost a Test series at home since 2014. It is also noteworthy that the indian team won this for the 17th series in a row and defeated the england team. Especially, while the indian team was stumbling in both innings, Dhuruv Jurel, who stood as a pillar and added runs, was selected as the man of the match. It is noteworthy that he scored 90 and 39 runs in both innings. Likewise, young players like Shubman Gill, Jaiswal, and akash Deep also contributed well in this tournament which was the main reason for the victory.
Without virat kohli, Rahane, Pujara, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer, the young team led by rohit sharma has been praised by many. The attitude of the indian selectors who gave chances to Rajat Pattidar, Sarfaraz Khan, akash Deep, and Devdut Padkal, who performed well in the Ranji Trophy, has now helped them.

In this case, the indian team's star player virat kohli also expressed his appreciation for this young team. He posted on his official X page, "Yes, a fantastic win for our young team. Shows grit, determination, and resilience." In that sense, this record shows that the new blood flowing into the Test team now would have given him immense happiness. It was announced that virat kohli will play in this series. After that, he pulled out of the first two matches due to personal reasons and eventually withdrew from the series altogether. But even though it is said to be a personal reason, it is never said to be the reason. Now, he and his wife Anushka Sharma are blessed with a baby boy. The baby has been named Akaay.
