Despite India's dominant run in the tournament, Verma stressed the importance of refining their performance.

South Africa, chasing a daunting Indian first-innings total of 603/6 declared, capitulated for 266, largely due to Rana's career-best performance.

The new record was set during the one-off Test against South Africa when Richa Ghosh's boundary off the first ball of the 109th over propelled India beyond Australia's mark.

Shafali, 20, also became the second Indian after former skipper Mithali Raj to hit a double century in Test cricket after almost 22 long years.
