India stared at an embarrassing defeat after Alastair Cook's fairytale farewell knock and Joe Root's classy hundred enabled England to pile more misery on the visitors during the penultimate day of the fifth Test.
Courtesy the twin hundreds by the former and current skipper, England declared their second innings on 423/8 with a massive target of 464 for the Indians.
Debutant Hanuma Vihari scored his maiden Test fifty on Day 3 of the 5th Test, and also put on a vital 77-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (86 not out) to help India post 292 in their first innings.
The former England skipper's tweet comes after the Indian cricket captain lost two reviews within 12 overs on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test.
Alastair Cook was unbeaten on 46 in his final Test innings as England reached 114/2 at stumps on day three for a 154-run lead over India.
Gilchrist also said he admires Kohli's aggression, though some people say he goes overboard sometimes.
India conceded a series defeat to England, which has raised a number of questions on the team's performance.
The incident happened in the 29th over of India's innings when Anderson snatched his cap and jumper from umpire Kumar Dharmasena.
England's lower order has been a problem for India throughout this series, and it was once again the case on Saturday as Buttler put on 33 runs with Adil Rashid and then 98 runs with Stuart Broad.
Buttler's 89 helped England recover from 198-7 on day one and score 332 runs in their first innings even as India struggled in bowler-friendly conditions.
Kohli has also joined the elite list of Indian players to complete 18000 international runs which only include 'Trinity' of former cricketers; Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly.
Stuart Broad and Sam Curran removed India's openers, then James Anderson and Ben Stokes tore through the middle order with two wickets each.
As the batting great walked out to bat, he got a guard of honour from the visiting side, at the end of which he shook hands with captain Kohli.

A scoreline of 2-3 will definitely look much better than 1-4 and India will any day take Test win.
The fifth and final Test begins at the Oval on Friday, and with the hosts already 3-1 up, it will be the last international match of Cook's 12-year-long career.
Head coach Ravi Shastri underlined the need to grow mentally tougher in order to cross the finishing line and win Test series in overseas conditions.
Former India opener and IndiaTV cricket expert Virender Sehwag has suggested captain Virat Kohli to play limited-over opener Rohit Sharma at the top slot in Test cricket as well.
There are very high chances that KL Rahul will sit out at the Oval Test as visitors will like to experiment with young players like Prithvi Shaw or Hanuma Vihari.
