The Indian team is currently on a seven-day break following their impressive win against Englan in the third Test.

Following the win, Indian captain Virat Kohli said that his team never stopped believing in their abilities even though a lot of people had given up on them after back-to-back defeat against England in the first two Test matches.

"We were down 0-2 in the series and a lot of people have stopped believing in us. But we believed in ourselves and that is why it is 1-2 now after 0-2. All that matter was what we thought inside the change room. Anything on the outside did not really matter. We believe we can win the series," Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

"The victory was much-needed in the context of this series. We have been clinical in all departments and its is a victory for the entire dressing room. A complete Test win for us," Kohli said.

It will be interesting to see if the Indian team will be able to sustain their momentum in the upcoming fourth Test match and the equal the series.
