🏏England tour of India 2024: 2nd Test: 02 - 06 Feb 2024 - Day 4🏏 - Page 71

Yashasvi Jaiswal: Wonderful feeling, really enjoyed the game. One of the best moments to win a game for your country. We were just focusing on our process, focused on our fielding and I think it went well. (On pitch) There was a bit of crack and there was some seam movement, so it was a bit hard to play in the fourth innings. (Difference in white ball and red ball) It is very different, in these games I try to play till the end and in white game I go for it from the first ball and have an intent to score. (On Bumrah) The way Bumrah bowled was incredible, it was coming too fast at the slip cordon too. (On second innings batting) My intent was the same, I wanted to play out the new ball and build my innings.

So potm is bumrah

Congratulations India

Player of the match - Bumrah 💙🩵

Stokes: Coming into this last innings, had full belief in ourselves that we'll chase it down. In moments like that, in games with scoreboard pressure, that's where we get the best out of ourselves. Another great game to be a part of. There's no suggestion whatsoever about how to play. Everyone in the dressing room is a quality player. They are good enough to go out there and assess the conditions, and decide how to go about it. I absolutely loved it (captaining the spinners). To put in the performance they did yesterday was incredible. They showed a lot of maturity beyond the years. He's amazing (Anderson). Two guys who're incredible bowlers (Anderson and Bumrah)

Rohit: He is a champion player for us (Bumrah). When you win a game like that, you have to look at the overall performance as well. We were good with the bat. You know winning a Test in these conditions is not easy. Wanted our bowlers to step up and they did that. He looks like a good player, understands his game really well. Long way to go for him, has got a lot to offer for our team. Hope he stays humble. Wickets was really good to bat on. If I have to point anything, lot of the batters got starts but couldn't get big score. But I understand they're young and new to the game. Important for us to give them confidence. Very proud of such a young squad to come up against a team like that. Lot of the guys are quite young in terms of playing this form of the game. It'll take some time to be absolutely spot on. Want them to play freely without any pressure. Last couple of years England have been playing good cricket. Knew it wasn't going to be an easy series. Three more to go. We'll keep our check on it and make sure we do most things right.

Bumrah, POTM: As I said before, I don't look at numbers. As a youngster I did that and it made me excited. But now it's an added baggage. As a youngster that is the first delivery I learned (yorker). Had seen the legends of the game. Waqar, Wasim and even Zaheer Khan. We're going through a transition so I feel it's my responsibility to help them in any way I can. We discuss certain things. Have been playing with him for a long period of time (Rohit). No not really (competition with Jimmy?). Before a cricketer, I'm a fast bowling fan. If somebody's doing well, kudos to them. I look at the situation, at the wicket and think what are my options. I should not be a one-trick pony.

India were without a bunch of key players heading into this Test. And they've done enough to come up on the winning side, led by a few exceptional performances, none better than Bumrah with the ball. Did England make a mistake by going in with three spinners here though? In hindsight, maybe yes because there wasn't much turn on offer and the ball did nip around especially in the morning sessions, with Anderson bowling beautifully. Nevertheless, it was another spirited show from the visitors who ended up with the second-highest fourth innings score by a visiting team in India. So that's all from us here. We've had two cracking Tests between these teams and the series is 1-1 going into Rajkot. Will be a 10-day break before that.

Great victory for India. Both batters and bowlers worked so hard to win this match.

Congratulations to Team India.

Yahoo....we won.🔥🔥🔥
