We’ve been here for a while. The ODI series did not go as we expected. It was a very tough Test match and we had to work hard for this win. So glad we did it.
The batsmen seemed to be batting very easily on this pitch. The first 3 days were very tough to score runs. Bangladesh’s openers played very well and we had to fight very hard. We batted really well in the first innings.
Pujara and Shreyas played well in the first innings. Also, Punt’s performance was excellent. Gill and Pujara made the most of their opportunity. The way we bowled was very good. There is no help for the bowlers on this pitch. But they bowled well.
Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly and brought us back into the game. We have worked for years on this attack. They showed their quality.
This is what he said.
