India have often struggled overseas but they addressed the problem by producing a group of quality fast bowlers which makes Virat Kohli and his men "the real deal now" in world cricket, feels Australian legend Allan Border.
India Sunday retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a comprehensive 137-run win in the third Test at the MCG on Sunday, taking an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
"They're the real deal now, they're the No. 1 team. They've been a great side to watch and they deserve this win," Border told foxsports.com.au.
"They've had their struggles away from home, but they're starting to improve because they've had some good fast bowling.
"Now they can combat Australia, South Africa and New Zealand countries that produce those fast, bouncy, seaming wickets. They used to struggle on those, but they don't struggle on those now."
