Virat Kohli: Specially after the way we lost the first Test. We wanted to prove ourselves. Today the boys showed their heart and character along with the crowd. A couple of the sessions were game changing. The moment they did not get big runs in the first innings. We knew we had a chance. The wicket has been relaid. It exactly panned out the way we wanted. After conceding the lead, it was a champion partenrship. The two of our best Test batsmen applied themsleves. The knock from Wriddhi and the way Ishant batted was a bonus as well. Ranchi is going to be very competitive. We can't wait to get there. Hopefully, we can take the momentum forward and never look back.
Steven Smith: Yeah, it was a great Test match. It was a good one. I am proud of the boys. The partnership between Rahane and Pujara hurt us. Ashwin challenged our boys and we were not up for it. Everyone makes mistakes. It is a difficult pitch to umpire on. You have to be smart to take your referrals as well. Certainly a lot to play for as we go to Ranchi. Hopefully some good times ahead. |
