Rahul Dravid credited India's series-winning triumph against the West Indies to team effort and hoped it would be spoken of in the same terms as the historic 1971 victory registered by Ajit Wadekar's men.

"We have not won in the West Indies for 35 years and not won outside the sub-continent for 20. That makes this win that much more special," said the Indian captain soaking in the joy of having led his team to a rare overseas win.

"It's good for this team to be the one that changed that and the one what will be sort of remembered. We had to work hard for it and I think it's been well deserved," he said after the match on Sunday. "We''ve always heard about the 1971 team and Anil (Kumble) was the only one born, just born, when India won last in the West Indies," Dravid said. "For all of us, growing up hearing the history of Indian cricket that was a very significant series, and I think hopefully this will prove to be a significant one as well."
