Our Take
Devdutt Padikkal was able to collect the trophy of the unofficial Test series, and all due to skills and determination shown by the Indian batsmen. There are a lot of positives which the team will be able to take from this series, as the preparations for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy have now officially started.
