India defeated New Zealand by 197 Runs in their historic 500th Test . ‘Superman’ Ashwin took his 5th 10-fer in the match and in doing so was 2nd quickest to take 200 Test wickets. He achieved this milestone in his 37th Match. Ravindra Jadeja who was adjudged Man of the Match was the wrecker in chief in 1st Innings. His contribution lower down the Order and Five wicket haul in 1st Innings was the major difference in the Match. ?Some Credit must also go to New Zealand for the way they played. Unlike any other opposition they fought credibly.
Here’s how the Twitterati Reacted on India’s Win:
Don't think a lot of people will complain with the choice of @imjadeja as man of the match. He was the "always-there" man for the captain
