Winning captain: Virat Kohli

The comeback in Chennai pleases Indian captain Kohli the most in the series. "The first game was an aberration and England outplayed us. The toss played a crucial role and the bowlers weren't in the context. We bowled and fielded with more intensity and so the comeback was very heartening. Our benchstrength is extremely strong and that's a good sign for Indian cricket", Kohli says in post-match presentation.

4:24 PM

Man of the series: R Ashwin

The fact that India qualified for the WTC final is very important for Ashwin. "The intensity was low after Chennai, despite the high in Australia. Everytime there was a challenging time in the series, someone put their hand up, so this series win was right up there", Ashwin says in post-match presentation.

4:22 PM

Man of the match: Rishabh Pant

"I think the drills have helped, and my confidence has helped, tranferring it from my batting to my keeping. This was a very important innings, especially with the team under pressure", Rishabh Pant says at the post-match presentation.

4:20 PM

Here's what Joe Root said after the match

Root reckons the first game of the series was the big positive for him. "We haven't matched India in the last three, and we need to keep learning and keep getting better for this experience and this series, and we need to keep evolving and move forward. There are some key areas where India grabbed the game and we didn't. Washington and Rishabh played extremely well at a time when we had a good hold on the game. We also didn't score runs the way we would have liked, and India outplayed us. Best of luck to them in the final", England captain said in the post match presentation.
