Indian captain Rohit Sharma credited the younger and less experienced members for registering the team's biggest win in terms of runs here on Sunday. Setting a target of 557 runs to win on the fourth day of the third Test, India bowled out England for just 122 runs and took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
Players have less test experience
After India's victory, Rohit told the media here, 'It is definitely a great feeling to win a match like this and especially with such a young team. Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel have made their debut and the playing eleven has also not played many test matches. After the historic victory, Rohit threw light on many aspects in detail.
players are learning
Many of these players are learning from experience at the crease. We also learned a lot in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. Sarfaraz and Jurel performed brilliantly in the match. Rohit said that India will have to work hard considering the circumstances created by injuries to senior players. We knew that it would not be easy for us to win the series. We have to work hard, especially when our frontline players are not with us.
it shocked me
Rohit said, the credit for this goes to the young players who showed tremendous enthusiasm as soon as they arrived. It seems that he plays in the team and also wants to remain in the team. The Indian captain said that he was surprised that the match ended so quickly on the fourth day. He said, “I thought that the match would continue till the fifth day. Today we had only 40 overs to bowl. We thought 130 overs would be enough to get them out.
We were looking at the number of overs to bowl him out rather than the runs. I never thought that the match would end by this evening. He said, 'It was tough for Ravichandran Ashwin to opt out after the second day's play, but he praised the top spinner for joining the team on the fourth day, having to opt out due to a medical emergency in his family.'
family first
Rohit said, 'It is not easy when you are without your most experienced bowler and that too in the middle of the Test, but family comes first.' When we heard the news we thought that he should do what he feels is right. Ashwin wanted to be with his family, which was the right thing. It is also good for him to come here and join the team. This shows his passion and the kind of person he is.
I will not talk much about Yashasvi”
Rohit wants Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue this aggressive form. He said, 'I will not say anything about Jaiswal right now because everyone is talking about him. Let him play. He is playing well and it is good for us. He is in good form, I won't say anything more than that.
