Player of the Match
Mohammed Siraj | India
It’s the best figure in a Test career. I tried to be consistent, hit the right areas and not think too much. I wasn’t consistent in the previous match and that’s why we leaked a lot of runs.
Worked hard on consistency and tried to be relentless with my lengths. That gave me a lot of rewards. When we play together, he (Bumrah) gets the message earlier.
We try to analyze the wicket a little quicker so that the communication goes to the bowling circuit that this is the wicket and this is what we are looking to do. (Message to the fans) Thank you so much, keep supporting, keep loving.
