“It’s preferable that I play one or two home matches before traveling to Australia. If I become fit and have eight to 10 days off.

“I don’t know when I can play again, but I’ll try to play a match the day I feel confident bowling 20–30 overs and the doctors give me the all-clear. Prior to heading for the Australia series, I want to spend as much time as possible on the ground.”

Rohit Sharma informed bcci.tv that the bowlers arrived at the celebration first. They secured the wickets we required, and once we were inside. We had to assume some risk in order to succeed. I was fine with the outcome even though I knew it might have gone other way. It takes courage to accept those judgments and go to play that way. Which is why Gautam Gambhir, the coach. The other players were also astounded. Everything appears good when everything falls into place.

When things don’t fall into place, that’s where things might shift quickly. Everyone would have immediately begun to criticize the choice we made and everything. But in this changing room, what matters is what we think. It was what was important, and for this game, that is the strategy we used.

It was a clear plan that we desire the result. How we can attain the result. Everyone began looking for solutions to that. It was, in my opinion, a remarkable series. It could pass unnoticed.
