IND vs PAK Live: Kuldeep Yadav takes a fifer as India thrash Pakistan by 228 runs
We just wanted to get out on the park, to get some game time. Lot of guys haven’t had that. That could only happen thanks to a great effort from the groundsmen. I know how tough it is to cover and remove covers from the whole ground. On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank them. (On batting) Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust with the rain. The two experienced guys knew they’d take time to get their eyes in and then we could get going. (On Bumrah) Looked good, he swung it both ways and he’s worked really hard for the last 8-10 months. Bumrah is only 27, for him to miss games isn’t ideal but the way he bowled showed what he is all about. Looking at how we batted, there were lots of positives with the openers and then Virat and KL. Virat’s innings was brilliantly paced. And then KL, at the last minute to get back from injury and play 5 minutes before the toss, we told him to get ready. Shows the mindset of the player.
