Tendulkar also lauded Hanuma Vihari and Ajinkya Rahane for their match-winning knocks during the series. Both the batsmen notched up centuries, Rahane in the first match and Vihari in the second Test.
“Lovely batting by @Hanumavihari to get to his 1st 100. Also very good to see @ajinkyarahane88 get back in form. The maturity & patience they have shown is a good sign for the Indian Test team. #WIvsIND,” the Master Blaster tweeted.
