When you win a Test like this, everything has to fall in place – Rohit Sharma

Despite going 1-0 down in the opening Test of the series at Hyderabad, India rallied their troops and fought back phenomenally to carve a 4-1 series triumph against England’s formidable unit A sensational bowling display on the third day of the Test match saw the hosts bundling out the Three Lions, sculpting a remarkable victory in the process.

The Indian captain, Rohit Sharma opened up at length in the post-match conference, highlighting the positives from the series while also underlining how India managed to turn the tide around in sizzling fashion that left England scurrying for answers.

Rohit said, “When you win a Test like this, everything has to fall in place. At some stage people are gonna and people are gonna come and we know that. These guys are maybe short of experience, they have played a lot of cricket and I can stand here and see that these guys responded pretty well under pressure. The credit goes to the entire team and it was pleasing to see. When you win a series like this, we talk about scoring runs and 100s but it is important to take 20 wickets to win a Test.”

Shedding some light on India’s bowling attack, Rohit said, “The way bowlers took responsibility was pleasing to see. It was over a period of time that we had a conversation (with Kuldeep), he's got a lot of potential and when the chips were down in the 1st innings, he bowled really well and after his injury he came back and worked at NCA and he is putting a lot of effort and the most pleasing thing was his batting.”

He concluded by talking about Yashasvi Jaiswal, adding, “Jaiswal’s got a long way to go, amazing to be in this position. When a guy's got talent like that who can put pressure on the bowlers from the word go, there will be lots of challenges going forward. He is a tough guy and loves the challenges, clearly superb series for him and likes to score big.”
