The CEO also wrote, "And they regained the ‘ashes’ in style...It was about bouncing back from humiliation, not about who wins the overall series. It was bouncing back from humiliation. The Aussies always go for the kill when the opposition is on its knees. Yet India found inner strength & self-belief in order to recover. This match should be studied by psychologists & motivational experts to understand & appreciate the turnaround"
Babul Supriyo also congratulated Team India and wrote, “Outplayed Aussies in the boxing day Test Match. (Note: Team Has No Rohit Sharma, No Virat Kohli)”
