India vs Afghanistan - Five talking points at the end of the match

#4 Rahane inviting the Afghan team to pose with the winners and the trophy

Prior to the game, the debutants were awarded framed Test caps to mark the historic event

Take a look at what the ICC tweeted: It is an important trophy win for Rahane as he extends his unbeaten captaincy stretch to a whole two Tests, as the team's main man Virat Kohli was away on a sabbatical. Rahane's action at end of the game might have impressed more people than in the game itself. In what was every noble gesture, Rahane called out to Stanikzai and the Afghanistan team posed for a group photo with the winners and trophy.

What a brilliant gesture from #TeamIndia to ask @ACBofficials players to pose with them with the Trophy. This has been more than just another Test match #SpiritofCricket #TheHistoricFirst #INDvAFG @Paytm pic.twitter.com/TxyEGVBOU8

It is indeed a great start for a nation which has been ravaged by war on several instances in the past, to come out and play good cricket and finally adorn the privilege of playing Test cricket. And the game that resulted and the enormous support they have been receiving from all corners will hopefully spur the team forward.
