Nagpur: England cricketers rejoiced their "monumental" Test series victory over India here and credited the whole team for the historic triumph after a gap of 28 years.

Matt Prior wrote, "Very proud day! test series win in India...Special!!! As I`ve said before..It`s 5pm somewhere in the world! Time to get on it! "

Spinner Graeme Swann was also ecstatic.
"What a feeling, winning the series and get to see my kids again in the morning. Oh and the wife," the off-spinner wrote.
Fast bowler James Anderson, who played a crucial role in England`s win, said the party is going to be long tonight.
"A truly amazing all round effort to win out here. Everyone has been brilliant. Lots of drinking to do now before 4am flight home!"
Former England stumper Alec Stewart said the Britishers deserved to win.
"Must say how humble and respectful the Indian fans have been in defeat. Appreciate good cricket and admit the better team won," he wrote.
