IND vs ENG, 3rd Test: Losing captain Ben Stokes said after the match-

‘Ben Duckett played an incredible innings. We wanted to bowl yesterday but it happened earlier than we wanted. Sometimes gameplans don’t work and that was the case. Everyone has a perception and opinion about things, it’s the people in the dressing room that matter to us. After falling 1-2 in the series, we have a great opportunity to make a comeback and win the series. We put this game behind us and we know we have to win the next 2 games to win the series and that’s what we want to do.

Winning captain Rohit Sharma said after the match-

‘When you are playing Test cricket it is not played for more than 2-3 days. We understand the importance of playing over 5 days. They played well and put us under pressure. There was class in our bowling, the message was to stay calm and I’m really proud of the way we came back the next day. When these things happen, there is happiness.

(On Ravindra Jadeja coming in at No. 5) ‘For this game, we thought he has a lot of experience and has scored a lot of runs, we wanted a left-right combo, Sarfaraz with the quality he has. , We wanted him to have time. We saw what he could do with the bat.

(On batting order) ‘We go with the flow and what we feel on that particular day, looking at the opposition team, the bowling attack. We calculate everything and then go with the flow. There were a lot of turning points, it was good to win the toss, we know how important it is to win the toss in India, the way we came back and bowled after that attack. The bowlers showed a lot of spirit, it should not be forgotten that we did not even have the most experienced bowlers. With the bat we knew the job was half done, those two youngsters gave us the lead we wanted and obviously Jadeja was brilliant with the ball in the second innings.

(On Jaiswal) ‘I have spoken a lot about him, even in Vizag, people outside the changeroom have also spoken. I don’t want to talk too much about him, he has started his career brilliantly, I want him to continue performing well, he is a good player.

Player of the match Ravindra Jadeja said

Ravindra Jadeja won the title of Player of the Match in the third Test match against England. In the first innings, Ravindra Jadeja played an inning of 112 runs and also took 2 wickets. Then in the second innings, Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets for 41 runs in 12.4 overs.

,I was just looking to build a partnership with Rohit, we were in a difficult situation, not trying to back our strengths, play our shots, try and be more conscious. Look at the ball and play the ball. I know about this wicket, if we bat first, it is always good to bat, in the second half it starts spinning, when Rohit won the toss, we were thinking, This is what we wanted, bat first, bowl later. You will not get easy wickets on this wicket, you will have to work hard for it. You have to bowl the balls in good areas, you have to earn your wickets.
