"To win in India is incredible but to deliver a clean sweep is remarkable ... has to be the greatest ever test series victory ... India now have a group of batters that struggle like most teams against spin," said former England captain Michael Vaughan.
Root only recently scored his 12,000th Test run to become the seventh highest run-scorer of all time and the 33-year-old has second-placed Ponting and Tendulkar's overall record within sight.
Sachin Tendulkar said James Anderson had "inspired generations" after the England great bowed out of international cricket on Friday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's captain for their first T20 World Cup triumph in 2007, praised the team for holding their nerve in a tense finale.
It was India's first global title since winning the 2013 Champions Trophy.
India's Sachin Tendulkar, an all-time batting great, lauded Anderson's ability to challenge even cricket's greatest run-scorers. "He would hold the ball as if he is bowling an outswinger but the release point, he would try and bring the ball back in," said Tendulkar.
“These videos are fake. It is disturbing to see rampant misuse of technology,” Tendulkar wrote in the post
Tendulkar was effusive in his praise of Kohli.
Kohli said he was over-joyed to achieve the record in front of his wife, Anushka Sharma, and Tendulkar

"The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn't stop laughing that day," Tendulkar wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
