Iconic cricketer Sachin Tedulkar attributed the win to the character and the mental strength shown by the players.
"The score is 3-won! India once again came back from a pressure situation and fought back to win the match. It shows the character and the mental strength of our players," Tendulkar wrote on 'X'.
He picked a few individual players for special praise. "A great first spell in Test cricket for Akashdeep. @dhruvjurel21 was terrific at reading the length in both innings and his footwork was precise. His partnership with @imkuldeep18 kept us in the game in the 1st innings, and his knock in the 2nd innings helped us sail home.
"Kuldeep's spell in the 2nd innings was vital. Seniors like @ashwinravi99, @imjadeja and @ImRo45 did their jobs. @ShubmanGill showed great temperament in curbing his instinct in the chase and scored an important 50."
