Sourav Ganguly has praised the team's series victory in Sri Lanka especially after losing the first Test. 

"It's a fabulous victory. The way they have bounced back from losing a match to win the series is a great achievement. If they keep playing like this, they will continue to win in future," the former India captain said.  

Ganguly is of the opinion that the Virat Kohli-led side can play with five bowlers if Stuart Binny is the bowling all-rounder although it should be situation specific. 

"You have to decide as per the situation. In the past also, we have seen India play with five bowlers. I think five bowlers is a good option if you consider Stuart Binny as your fifth bowler," he added.
