'Congratulations to #TeamIndia for levelling the series! Markram’s approach was fantastic because sometimes attack is the best form of defence on a pitch like this.

Well bowled by Bumrah, who showed us exactly, how bowling in the channel consistently is all that’s required on such type of wickets,' Tendulkar said on the social media platform.
