India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said winning a Test with a huge margin over England was "quite satisfying" after youngsters stood up to deliver in the absence of frontline players.

Fearless batting

He tore into the England bowling attack, hitting 12 sixes including three hits over the fence off veteran pace bowler James Anderson.

Jaiswal "is playing well, it's good for us and he is in good form", said Rohit.

Sarfaraz, 26, impressed with his fearless batting as he scored 62 and another debutant in wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel made 46.

A prolific batsman in the domestic circuit, Sarfaraz got his Test cap from former captain Anil Kumble with his teary-eyed father looking on.

"There is nervousness on debut but I didn't find him nervous," said Rohit.

He said when Sarfaraz received the cap in the morning of day one, "he was very emotional but he was involved in the game the moment (the) match started. He was looking to make a difference with his batting, fielding and energy. "

India played without senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on day three after he left the Test midway hours after his 500th Test wicket to be with his ailing mother.

Off-spinner Ashwin returned on day four and got one wicket to be part of India's triumph.

"Good of him to make a way and come here and be part of the team on this day," said Rohit, adding it "shows the kind of person he is...wanting to put everything ahead for the team."
