The match that they won in Birmingham - that was incredible. India could have won at Lord's as well; they were quite close. And this team will learn a lot from this series. And the lessons they will take from this series, they will use to their advantage in the future. We should not judge them too quickly," Harbhajan Singh told India Today in an interview.
