Milestone
That's it from all of us at OneCricket and Cricket Exchange. This is me, Akshay Bhide, signing off on behalf of my colleague Ninaad Dixit and Zeeshan Naiyar (scorer). Good Day. Take Care.
Virat Kohli | India Skipper: "To come back with a win is a great feeling for the team and for me as well returning as captain. This is something we see time and again with the team, guys stepping up and performing. We saw that in Kanpur as well. It's also a case of the opposition playing good cricket and the pitch not assisting the players on day 5. We were able to create more pressure here as there was some more bounce and turn. The pitch at Wankhede provided us to play good cricket all around and that helped us to seal the win. We all are serving Indian cricket to be honest. The previous management did a great job. Now Rahul bhai  with the new management is trying to do the same. At the end of the day, whoever plays or coaches, the mindset should be to keep Indian cricket on top. It's a good challenge in South Africa. We started building up winning overseas in England and South Africa and were successful in Australia. We have experience playing there and we believe we can win anywhere. We want to win a series there and we want to achieve that as a team. We will ensure to play the kind of cricket we want to play."
Ravichandran Ashwin: "This is the 10th man of the series I guess. Can't lie on this one. The pitch was good to bowl. The ball was spinning and there was some extra bite on this surface. The surface was good to bat on in the last session of every day. Wonderful surface and always enjoy bowling at Wankhede. Brilliant performance from Ajaz Patel and he put our batters under pressure throughout the Test match. I and Jayant have a very good relationship and he flew to Chennai from Haryana to pick up my mind. Axar is a lot different from us and the art of spin is all about revelation. Looking forward to touring South Africa and be a part of the winning team." 
Ravichandran Ashwin is the man of the series.
Mayank Agarwal: "It feels good to be back among runs. This knock will be special for me. It was all about game plan, mental discipline and being determined. I know sometimes technique won't always give you runs but mindset is the key. Rahul bhai just told me there's no point discussing technique in the middle of the series. Just try to have a positive mindset and go ahead. Sunny sir told me to keep my bat a bit low. I didn't really think about converting the 60 in a century but I should have converted it into a ton. We wanna go abroad and win tournaments and matches there, it is something everyone in the team is looking forward to."
Mayank Agarwal is the man of the match.
Tom Latham | New Zealand Skipper: "It was a disappointing performance. Always have to be on our toes while touring this part of the world but credit to India. The bowlers bowled well in the first innings and it was always going to get harder to bat on this surface as it was going to spin as the game progresses. We have players who will step up in crunch situations and always good to have depth in the squad. Special to be a part of something like this and credit to Ajaz for that performance. We will head home and after a week's quarantine, we will play a Test series against Bangladesh. Looking forward to that." 
Time for the presentation. 
Rahul Dravid: "Good to finish the Test series on a high. Came close in Kanpur as we failed to pick the last wicket. But credit to the team to bounce back in the series to win. It may feel one-sided affair but it was hard work from the players. Great signs for us to see the young players stepping up and grabbing every opportunity that comes their way. Good to see the likes of Mayank, Shreyas, Siraj stepping up with the senior guys missing. Not much discussion regarding the follow-on. The ball was turning and coming to Mumbai and playing on the red soil, we didn't want to bat last on this surface. Also, there was enough time and we wanted our batters to give some extra time in the middle. We have to manage our players' workload, with the players playing a lot of cricket in recent times. There is a great depth in the squad and a good headache to have at the moment regarding the selection ahead of the South Africa series."   
Rachin Ravindra: "It's amazing to learn from Ajaz, the things he did in the first innings was amazing. It was probably the most nervous I was under a high ball (catching the tenth wicket). When the ball was up in the air, I saw my teammates supporting, so there was a bit of pressure."
