India thoroughly deserve their victory. They have outplayed England since the first session of the match. India dominating with the bat after winning a good toss and then troubling England with spin. Also Indian fast bowlers proved that if you have the guts to bowl in sub-continent pitches you can yield; the lesson that English pacers should learn from the first test match.
For England there is plenty to ponder and much to be concerned about. Apart from Cook and Prior the batting was woeful on a surface that was never a minefield.
Congrats team India to have a winning celebration after a long time.... :)

It was a good display by the Indian team on the first test against England. I hope Indian team can maintain the momentum and win the series comfortable.
Virender Sehwag's century and Cheteshwar Pujara's double century did good for team and good bowling Ravichandran Ashwin & Pragyan Ojha did make the victory.
Let's see if the Indian team can maintain this form in the rest of the series ...

Convincing win indeed by India. Equal participation of of batting side and bowling side is good sign for India for coming matches. England has to enhance their spin bowling power in coming matches considering Indian pitches.

Yes, except for the fightback from Cook and Prior, India more or less dominated the match. They were better than England in all departments be it batting, bowling or even fielding. England would be disappointed with all three departments wand there would be changes that would be made in the team for the next match.
Cheers!

finally the pay back by india to england after the shameful defeat of india in the previous series they met eachother. It clearly shows that every team is a lion at their home,whether it is india or england. I hope india win series with the margin of 4-0 & race to No 3 position in icc test rankings. All the best wishes to india...:)
