Indian cricket team have so many reasons to rejoice this season -- one being that it is now the No 1 ranked Test team following their 178-run win against New Zealand in the second Test in Kolkata and the second being that it has claimed this position from Pakistan who had dethroned them from the spot last August.
VVS Laxman, former Test player, congratulated Team India on winning the Test series against New Zealand and becoming No 1 team in Test cricket.

Dhoni’s biopic was again in news when a fan claimed that India beat NZ in fourth day itself to watch a movie on Dhoni.
