"Very Special Team": Twitter Reacts After India Thrash England In 4th Test

India crushed England by 157 runs to win the fourth Test at The Oval on Monday and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. India needed 10 wickets for the win on the final day and their bowlers delivered. Everyone chipped in with a few wickets as they bundled out England for 210 in their second innings. After the win, congratulatory messages started pouring in from all quarters. From skipper Virat Kohli to former cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman all applauded India for a memorable win. "Tough situations build strong people. Onto the next one. #TeamIndia," Kohli tweeted.

"This is a very special Test Match win. After being 127/7 on the first day, not many teams can make a comeback and win a away test the way Team India have done."

"That is why this is a very special Indian Team. Congratulations to everyone for playing their part in a memorable win," VVS added.

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar urged Team India to go for the win in the final Test and make it 3-1 in the five-match series.

What a comeback!

The boys just kept bouncing back after every setback. What a way to stamp authority on the last day when England were 77/0. Way to go guys!

Let's make it 3-1. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/tHjrtE5Bo8

What a victory by India! Top-class Test cricket spell by Bumrah, which changed the game upside down. Rohit and Shardul were brilliant overall. Brilliant captaincy by Kohli. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/3CyZuI8R7C

With @RaviShastriOfc absent, the indomitable spirit of @imVkohli pervades every artery in this Indian team. The @BCCI brand of cricket is fearless, the players undaunted by setback. Lionhearted spell by @Jaspritbumrah93 to ignite India's burning desire to beat @englandcricket
