Blake, a Jamaican sprinter, who won gold at the 100 m at the 2011 World Championships as the youngest 100m world champion ever, also lauded England team, their skipper Joe Root and veteran fast bowler James Anderson, who starred with the ball on the final day of the Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.

"Woah! What a wonderful Test between England and India. I must say, 'Joe Root well played, England team well played'. Jimmy Anderson as usual...They say you get better with age, it is just a number. And 'Jimmy keeps on showing that. Well done Jimmy'.

The second Test, also in Chennai, will begin from Saturday and Blake recalled how India staged a stunning comeback in Australia after being all-out for 36 in the first Test and went on to win the four-Test series 2-1.

"Test cricket is absolutely the best. Second Test should be interesting, India was 1-0 down in Australia, they are 1-0 down at their home ground now. The second Test, I'm looking forward to it," said the 31-year-old.
