ICC World Test Championship: Adjudged Player of the Series, Ravichandran Ashwin shed light on how Rohit Sharma's decisive leadership played a pivotal role in the win, which helped India secure a record-extending 18th home series victory and strengthen their position at the top of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) table with 74.24 percentage points.
