Captain Rohit Sharma opens up about retirement post India-England Test series

Rahul Dravid also said the team did well to maximise advantageous positions. "So, you not only need to win the games when you have to fight back, which we did well. But you have to also win the games when you're ahead and you don't let the opposition come back in any situation."

The former India captain praised the team for emerging winners from a long, grueling series against a quality opposition.

"We talked about this at the start of the series as well. Irrespective of whether we win or lose this is going to teach us a lot -- a five Test match series. You're going to go through a lot of ups and downs. It's a long series, you're going to be tested. And it was going to teach us a lot about us as players or some as a team, and a lot about us and we've come through that exceptionally with terrific flying colours and we face challenges both on and off the field", he said.
