But so many doubts, so many questions from everybody about whether Test cricket will stay or not. I think both the teams and the way we've played in this series, I think we've answered that question," Rahul said at the post-match press conference."For us as a team, that wasn't given a chance in this series.

He did not disappoint and was among India's top performers, scoring 532 runs across the five Tests and forged a fine partnership with the younger Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top."Yeah, I think it hit me when I joined the team. I was here about two weeks earlier playing India A's and it didn't hit me back then. But once I joined the team and I looked around and I didn't have Rohit and Virat and Ashwin who I played all my cricket with..."Just to look around and not see them felt a bit weird. But yeah, that's when it hit me that everyone else is looking at me, coming to me to ask about English conditions, what they need to do, how they need to prepare."Rahul said he relied on his experience to do his bit in not just performing but also steering the younger lot."And that's when it hit me that, okay, I've stepped into a different role now and it's time for me to help the younger guys. Use all the experience I've had of playing Test cricket and international cricket over the years and really put my hand up and stand up for this team."This moment almost feels like this is a young team that's going to stay there for a long time.
