On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also praised the Indian cricket team, saying that the team`s hard work and teamwork which was on full display in Australia is inspiring.

"This month, we got good news from the cricket pitch. After initial hiccups, the Indian team bounced back strongly and won the Test series in Australia. Our team`s hard work and teamwork was inspiring," Modi said during his monthly `Mann Ki Baat` programme.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on their part, expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for his appreciation and tweeted: "Thank you Shri Narendra Modi for your appreciation and words of encouragement. Team India will do everything possible to keep the tricolour flying high."

India will next face England in a four-Test series beginning Friday in Chennai.
