After the match, Virat said, ‘I think the kind of character the team has shown is very good. We are not here to save the match but to win. Really proud of the way the team played. The conditions were a bit complicated and we knew he had a chance when Rabindra Jadeja was bowling rough. The bowlers were good in reverse swing today. We believed we could all get 10 wickets, we were confident. Bumrah said after lunch to give me the ball. He bowled that spell and turned the game in our favor with those two big wickets.
Jaspreet Bumrah took the total wickets in the second innings of the match. After lunch, Jaspreet Bumrah looked amazing and Oli bowled Pope (2).

I think he batted well in both the innings. We never think about analysis, statistics and numbers. We know what we need to focus on and we make decisions together as a team. Everyone is happy to win. This gives us more motivation to win the next Test. We believe in ourselves.
