Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match. He says that he wanted to be on the field as much as he could and that this hundred was a special one. He adds that after being down and out in the first innings and then going on to post 466 was an amazing collective batting effort. He says that it's his first away hundred and it's his best one yet and commends all the other players. He says that the bowlers did the job and the whole team is pumped right now. Also adds that he doesn't care much about big scores and is happy to score runs as required by his team. He also adds that batting in these conditions, specially at the top of the order is not easy and recollects the training at Durham. He says that the training helped them a lot after the WTC final and the results could be seen in this series. He ends by saying that he feels fit and it's just about what the physio says.
The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli says that he thinks the best thing about both the wins was how the team showed character. Mentions that they put up a good total on the board and it was going to be tough to chase. Adds that the bowlers were exceptional and it would rate this performance amongst his top 3. Tells that the bowlers exploited reverse-swing conditions perfectly today and they believed as a team that they could get 10 wickets today. Mentions that Bumrah was just outstanding. Informs that to give away 27 runs from 22 overs speaks volumes. Goes onto say that if England will give a chance to them, India will take it with both hands. Credits Shardul Thakur and says that his first innings made the difference and his fifty in the second innings was noteworthy as well. States that they focus on their job and do not look over stats and don't bother with the noise that comes from outside and they try to perform as a group. Tells that this win gives the team more motivation to go out and win the final Test as well. Says that the fans have been amazing as well.
The England skipper, Joe Root says, that when they came out to bat today, the match was there for the taking but they couldn't capitalize on the start. He then credits the opposition bowlers and mentions that they showed real skill. He also goes on to say that the bowling was world-class and they will want to improve on how to counter it. He adds that there will be swing at Old Trafford as well. He mentions that they need to be more ruthless and clinical and is disappointed with how the lead was turned against them. Mentions that they need big partnerships and not settle for starts and collectively need to put in a better batting performance. About the slip catching, he says that the players do practice a lot and it's just about being brave and taking the chances. He also adds that yes, they have had injuries but that cannot be an excuse and they need one big push in the final Test to level the series.
... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...
England were in the ascendancy in the first innings. They had a nice lead of 99 runs but that's all it was. The lead was soon turned to dust and the hosts were out of sorts with the ball in the second innings. They did not get any movement and the visitors took advantage of a flat pitch. 368 runs still looked a good score to chase on a flat pitch and England started off well. The openers negated Day 4 and then continued to merry their way to put a 100-run stand. It was still fine when Malan got out but after that they had a collapse and lost four wickets for just six runs. Root tried to hold fort but there's only so much one man can do. Wickets kept tumbling and Root also departed. England crumbled under pressure and weren't able to show much resistance. They went on to suffer a heavy defeat in the end.
What a turnaround it has been from India. Who would have thought that after being bowled for 191 runs in the first innings, the visitors would go on to win by 157 runs? The batters, Rohit Sharma in particular destroyed the English attack in the second innings but was very well supported by Pant, Thakur and some handy contributions from the tail, which put India in the driving seat. The bowlers toiled hard late on Day 4 but couldn't get a single breakthrough. That however, changed on Day 5 and Shardul Thakur provided an early wicket to set the tone for the rest of the day. From then on, Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant and after Lunch, they made short work of the hosts and all together the visitors picked up six wickets in that session. Umesh Yadav had a brilliant burst in the end with the second new ball to clean up the England tail.
India have won the fourth Test by 157 runs and have taken a crucial 2-1 lead heading into the final Test. Incredible scenes all around the stadium. This cracker of a series just keeps swinging like a pendulum.
What a victory this has been for India. Incredible scenes all around the stadium. Virat Kohli is pumped up, India are pumped up.
