MUMBAI (Reuters) - India lavished praise on Virat Kohli's test team on Tuesday with former players and local media lining up to congratulate the side after they pulled off a spectacular victory against England in the second test at Lord's.

India went into the final day on Monday, a day after the country celebrated its 75th Independence Day, simply hoping to avoid defeat but tailend batting duo Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami helped turn the match on its head.
