Talented young batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan were hailed Monday as the future of Indian cricket after they led their team to a monumental Test victory over England.

Dhruv Jurel, the 23-year-old wicketkeeper who won his first Test cap in Rajkot alongside Sarfaraz, was dubbed "an instant hit on debut" by the Indian Express newspaper.

"Yashasvi Jaiswal is a special talent, that he can play defensively 50 balls, so (has) good technique against the new ball, and unleash and get into T20 mode immediately," former batsman Sanjay Manjrekar told website cricinfo.

Sarfaraz, he added, "plays spin the best. And while watching him bat in the two innings I think India have found a brilliant middle-over batter for 50 overs cricket."

England's aggressive "Bazball" brand of cricket won them the opening encounter of the five-match series but they have lost the next two, and the Times of India newspaper headlined its report "BAZBALL TO BUST".

Jurel made 46 in the first innings and effected a sharp run out on Ben Duckett to trigger an England collapse on the fourth day.

"Big victory, obviously it's a very good feeling to win a game like that, and especially with such a young team as well," said skipper Rohit Sharma.
