The the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a short video after win in Rajkot where Indian players and coaches reflected on the turning point of the match.

“When you win a Test match like that, it’s very hard to single out one particular turning point. I think overall, the cricket that we played in those four days, I think was superb. I will just name a few moments where we went through the line but I think it was overall effort. The last four days that we played was superb,” said captain Rohit Shamra.

“I am really proud of the team I think we’ve challenged in this game. I know in the end it seems like a very easy win. We pushed against the wall and it is nice to see different people stepping up. If you look at this game, there were performaces from all around the team, not only from the senior guys but lots from the junior guys a well. Speaks volumes of the team and their ability to bounce back under pressure,” said team India coach Rahul Dravid.

“Taking a fifer in the second innings after scoring a hundred in the same match is a very special feeling. This is the special man of the match at my home ground and I would like to dedicate this to my wife because she’s been working hard behind me mentally and also she, always gives me confidence,” said player of the match Ravindra Jadeja.

“I thought that would be the partnership between Rohit and Jadeja after being 33 for three, we were in a tricky, tricky situation but the way those two responded, senior pros of the team, I think that was good to see,” said batting coach Vikram Rathore.

India’s debutant too were pleased with their perfiormaces aiding in the team’s win.

“I am very happy, firstly that I got my debut and I could perform well. The team also won. It was dream to play for India , I would perform and the team would also win,” said Sarfaraz Khan.

“It was always a dream to pay Test cricket and we have won. Feeling really good. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s batting was the rurning point, socring a double hundred and the way he has been batting,” said Druv Jurel.
