Video: How India celebrated 3-0 series win over New Zealand and No.1 Test ranking

After being unbeaten in 13 consecutive Tests, both home and away, it is fair to say that the Indian team well and truly deserved the ranking and the mace. And it unsurprisingly, the Indian players took to social media after India’s historic victory.
