Michael Vaughan says that beating India on home soil is a greater achievement than winning the Ashes.

Michael Vaughan has said that England's series win over India is bigger than victory in the last Ashes series.

England and India played out a draw in the fourth Test to hand the series to the tourists.

The former England captain told BBC Radio Five live: "To beat an Indian side on home soil is huge. To beat that side in Australia was great. England have wanted to do that for many years but this is a bigger cricketing achievement.

"England arrived in India not in great form. Then in Ahmedabad they are bowled out for 191 in the first innings of the first Test and you think 'how do you turn it around?' - it was because of Alastair Cook.

"It's the first time I have actually watched and really felt that [Indian batsman] Sachin Tendulkar feared a bowler. You could see it in Sachin's eyes. Every time [James Anderson] had the ball, he didn't have a clue."

England won the series 2-1 to take their first victory in India since 1985.
