🏏 Bangladesh tour of India 2024: 2nd Test - BD vs IND - Day 5🏏 - Page 43

Bilal : "As a Pakistani cricket fan as much as I'm in awe of this Indian side and their approach, im gutted at how far behind we are left in modern day cricket in all 3 formats. We lost 2 tests against this Bangladesh side which is now on the verge of losing this test in literally 2 days of play."

Shaik: "I was not much of a Rohit fan, since his early days from 2007, because of his inconsistency earlier. But, this approach can be said as the Greatest selfless act by an Indian Captain to show the way to his team, that if you chose aggression, stick with it no matter what."

The aforementioned Centurion Test in 2000 featured the only forfeited innings in Test cricket history. The WTC 2021 final played in Southampton had a reserve day.

Jasprit Bumrah: It feels really good. I don't think about all those adjectives (being called a magician). It is really good to get this win, we had lost a couple of days.. the way we batted yesterday and it was a test for our fitness as well as you see how hot the weather is, bowling every day and trying to create an impact, a really special win. You use your experience but it is easier said than done, because you have played a lot of cricket and played on different surfaces you find solutions, this wicket was completely different to what we got in Chennai, so quickly communicated with the others and tried to find the best option. I like that challenge when you go against your nature, conditions are not favourable, the wicket is not favourable, how do you get answers, all of these battles I really like. We have played a lot of cricket in India, you understand the nature of the wicket and the SG ball sometimes reverses as well but sometimes because of the humidity you are not able to keep the ball dry, so you find solutions and discuss it with other players as well. He (Akash Deep) comes up to me quite a lot before a spell and asks me what is happening and what should I do, we have had a lot of interesting conversations, the energy he brings on the ball, he gives his best on the field and when he's bowling, he has got a lot of heart and that is a good sign for us going forward. Hopefully he goes from strength to strength. We got a break after the WC, we were preparing for the Test series and you have to keep that in mind, obviously you understand how many overs you are going to bowl and where your body is, what is the schedule looking like, we have a long season ahead and that is why we got the break, some time out with family and then we get back to putting in the work.

Shanto, Bangladesh captain: Both the Tests we didn't bat well. In these conditions we need to bat well. If you look at our batters - we played 30-40 balls and got out. It's important in a Test match, when batsmen get in, you should look to score big runs. The way Ashwin and Jaddu batted at that time - they batted really well. As a bowling unit we need to look at those moments - how we can get those wickets. That partnership cost us that game. The way Mominul batted this innings will help going forward. And the was Miraz bowled in both innings - he bowled really well.

Jaiswal, Player of the Match: I think I was just thinking what I can do for my team. The situation was different in Chennai, and different here. I was just trying to do what I should do for my team and was trying my best. Every innings is important. I try my best and prepare in that manner. Rohit bhai and sir told me to play the way I want to. We had a chat that we had to at least put some scores and we can play freely. Wanted to win this game and we were just going for it.

Ashwin, Player of the Series: Really glad I'm able to turn up performances for the team's victory. Winning this game was important for us. Lot of bowlers contributed really well for us today. Massive win for us in the context of the WTC. When we bowled them out yesterday, it was little after lunch. Rohit was keen that we needed 80 overs to bowl at them. And the moment he came inside out and gave that talk where we're going to go after it even if we get out under 230. It's not only him saying it, he went out there and hit his first ball for six. He set the tone that way and obviously follows on from there. The kind of bowling attack I'm part of, incredibly proud of it. How Jassi bowls, how Siraj turns in, how Akash turned up, ad don't have to mention much about Jaddu. With the new ball you get more bite out of the surface. It is slow. The more you put overspin, it's going to be harder because the ball doesn't leave the surface so you must be able to change the pace up. We've played enough on these surfaces around the country where the soil is similar. So we expect a team with such experience to make those adjustments. I don't use it as much as I do in the white ball format (carrom ball). I'm happy to settle into the rhythm.
