Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "See, when you are playing Test cricket, it is not played over two or three days. We know the importance of playing over the course of five days. They played well. But we have got class on our squad. The message was to stay calm. Not drift from what we want as a team. I'm proud of my team because they sticked to the plans.
I mean specially for this game, he has got a good experience of playing in this format. He has scored a good amount of runs and we wanted that right and left hand batting. We all know Sarfaraz. He did what he does the best. We don't have any long term plan with the batting order. We go with whatever we feel on the day and go with the flow.
Honestly, a lot of turning points. Once we won the toss, that was a good toss to win because we know how important it is to put runs on the board. Also, to get that lead. The way we bowled after the onslaught from the English batters was brilliant. We didn't have our most experienced bowler but the others did a fine job. The job was half done. We knew we had to bat well and get a big lead. The youngsters did a fine job and Jadeja bowled brilliantly today.
I have spoken a lot about Yashasvi in Vizag as well. Even outside the dressing room, there have been a lot of talks about him. I won't talk about him. He is young and I'll hope that he keeps doing and delivering for the side."

Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja (Player of the Match): " I was looking just to build a partnership with Rohit as we were in a bad position, 33/3. I just tried to watch the ball and play according to it. I know this wicket, once we bat first the ball comes on the bat nicely and in the second innings it gets difficult.
Once Rohit won the toss, I was like this is what all wanted to bat first. I think on this wicket, we don't get easy wickets, we need to work hard, as this surface is good for batting. We need to keep bowling in good areas. We need to earn the wickets on this surface."

And with that, we conclude our coverage of the third test match in the five-match series between India and England. India's dominant display has led to their biggest-ever test victory, triumphing over England by a massive 434-run margin. Stay tuned for more thrilling cricket action in the days to come!
