Former Indian cricketers including Sachin Tendulkar, known as the ‘Lord of Cricket’ and Ravi Shastri, former India team boss, praised the India team’s historic victory at Centurion. Let us tell you that this is India’s first win at the Centurion, which is largely considered a strong suit for South Africa. With this, India has become the first country in Asia to earn Centurion.
Following this victory for Virat Kohli’s team, Sachin Tendulkar wrote on Twitter: “Great shot from a team that can take 20 wickets in a test match anywhere in the world. Congratulations to the Indian team for this wonderful victory.”
