Let us tell you what the Player of the Match and the captains of both the countries said in the post match presentation after the second test-

IND vs BAN: What did the losing captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto say-

We did not bat well in both the test matches. In these conditions we will have to bat well. If you look at our batsmen – we played 30-40 balls and got out. This is important in a Test match, when the batsmen take the field, you should try 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 take wickets. Because of that partnership we lost that match. The way Mominul batted in this innings, it will help in moving forward. And Mirage was bowled in both innings – he bowled really well.

What did winning captain Rohit Sharma say-

We all move forward in life and at some stage or the other you have to work with different people. When Rahul bhai said that his game is over, it was a great time for us. Then life moves on and as a team we had to move forward. With Gautam Gambhir…I have played with him and what his mentality is like. It’s still early days, but very successful. To be honest, we had to think a lot to take the game forward. When we came on the fourth day, we wanted to get them out as quickly as possible and see what we could do with the bat. It was not about the runs we scored but the overs we wanted to give them. The pitch didn’t offer much for the bowlers, but it was a brilliant effort from the bowlers to win the game on that pitch. The batsmen were willing to take risks and we were willing to give ourselves a chance on a result. Look, Akash has been good and has played a lot of domestic cricket. There are enough overs in the leg and he can do the work that the team expects from him. He can bowl long spells and we want to create a group of bowlers who are ready to play Test cricket at any time. If someone gets injured, you should replace them with another bowler.

What did Player of the Match Yashasvi Jaiswal say?

I guess I was just thinking about what I can do for my team. The circumstances were different in Chennai and different here too. I was just trying to do what I needed to do for my team and try to give my best. Every innings is important. I try to give my best and prepare in the same manner. Rohit bhai and sir told me to play the way I want to play. We discussed that we have to at least score some scores and we can play freely. We wanted to win this game and we were just ready to go for it.
