Sachin Tendulkar was just another fan after India scripted a brilliant performance in the first hour of Day 5 against England to win at The Oval and draw the series 2-2.

"Test cricket... absolute goosebumps," posted Sachin. The legendary cricketer rated Shubman Gill-led India's performance from the series a perfect 10. "Supermen from India. What a win," he posted.

Sachin's teammate and former India captain Sourav Ganguly did not mince any words. "Fantastic from Team India. Test cricket, best format by far..congratulations to all members and coaches led by the fantastic Shubman Gill," Ganguly posted.

But Dada wanted to shower individual praises too and he picked the man of the hour, Mohammed Siraj, whose fifer, including three strikes on Day 5, made the win possible.

"Exceptional series from Jadeja, Washington, Pant ..so much consistency from this young team," Ganguly added.

There was also high praise from the opposition's side, led by former England skipper Michael Vaughan. "Wow .. I haven’t witnessed anything quite like that .. an incredible series," Vaughan posted about the month-long five-match series.

Vaughan too singled out Siraj for being the x-factor in India's resilient performance. "Amazing talent on both teams but if I had to choose one player from either team it would be Siraj. His efforts throughout the series have been incredible."
