Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Siraj returned to the defeat.
I'm proud of my team. At the post-match presentation ceremony, Indian captain Shubhman Gill said, “I am proud of my team. No matter how close the match was. It lasted five days and ended in the last session. I was very confident because we had two partnerships of 50-50 runs, but we couldn't do it.”
Jadeja is a very experienced player In the second innings from India, Jadeja scored 61 runs. Gill said about it, he is a very experienced player. We did not give him any message. He was batting brilliantly with lower rank batters. We just wanted it and lower -ranked batters to play for as long as possible.
Pant's wicket became a turning point Pant was run out for 74 in the first innings. Regarding his wicket, Gill said, “It was definitely the turning point of the match. At one time we felt that if we could take a lead of 80-100 runs it could prove crucial. We knew it would not be easy to chase 150-200 runs on this wicket on the fifth day. We would have been in a good position.”
