Pretty comprehensive again. Played really good cricket over four days. Were in some tricky situations. Contributions all around. Was a game full of grit and determination. According to the surface it was a top class innings. He's someone who is sure of his game. Dressing room feels calm when he's batting. He's willing to improve. Accepts and corrects his mistakes. Plays with a lot of heart. He's shown why he's been backed and selected in this team. It's a by-product of the quality team we have here. If we didn't have the bowlers we have, these results wouldn't have been possible. Captaincy is just a C in front of your name. Look forward to keep continuing playing good cricket. From bowling point of view, they were outstanding. Jason and Kemar were the standout bowlers. Their bowling attack in these conditions is as lethal as anyone
It feels great, I missed out on a hundred in the last match. Happy with the hundred as we were looking to post a good total. We had to be patient on this wicket as there was something in it for the fast bowlers. I was trying to take calculative risk against spinners, that was the game plan and it worked well for me. I have not played a Test at home, looking forward to it. It's great to play in front of the home crowd back in India
For scoring his maiden Test hundred in the first innings and following it up with a fifty in the second innings India's Hanuma Vihari is the Player of the Match.
Disappointed, we didn't play complete cricket. It's an individual thing, we need to take ownership of our performances. The bowlers gave their 100%, it's been a heavy workload on the bowlers, at no point have they dropped their heads. They are a quality side and they played quality cricket, we didn't bat well enough. That's the quality of their side. As a batter you need to get in, only then it gets easier. You need to work hard for your runs.

Holder blocks out the first 3 deliveries from Jadeja. He then has a wild heave at the 4th ball but an inside edge takes it past the keeper for FOUR. BOWLED! Holder seems to have had enough and another wild swing results in the ball crashing into the stumps. India win by 257 runs.
Same delivery from Jadeja but he just drags the length back a little. Holder once again swings wildly but misses completely this time.
Holder swings wildly but only gets a little inside edge which tickles past the keeper.
Shami starts with a poor delivery and Roach slices it through cover for FOUR. Shami gets the 3rd delivery to rise sharply and it hits Roach on the elbow. Roach however just shakes it off and is able to continue. He offers a good solid block on the next delivery. CAUGHT! Roach’s stand comes to an end as he goes for the drive outside off and gets a healthy edge which Pant pouches. Shannon Gabriel walks out to bat. He defends the last delivery to midwicket. 4 runs and a wicket from the over. India now just 1 wicket away from victory.
Roach goes for the drive but gets an edge which carries comfortably for Pant.
Shami pitches it short outside off and Roach slices it through cover.
