England's 2–1 Test series win was their first series victory in India since the 1984–85 tour. The former England captain Michael Vaughan said that the series victory was bigger than the 2010–11 Ashes series victory in Australia. He said of Alastair Cook that "he has led England to probably their biggest achievement in many, many years".
As of January 2024, this series was also the last time that India lost a test match series at home.
On 23 December 2012, Sachin Tendulkar announced his retirement from ODI cricket.
