For India, Ravindra Jadeja was the best bowler for India in the second innings with 4/54, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ishant Sharma took one wicket each. Cheteshwar Pujara Man of the Match award would have come as little consolation for India.  

“Jadeja is unbelievable. He is gun in the field too. I have never seen anyone bowl so economically for so long ever. “- Virat Kohli on Ravindra Jadeja.

‘I never thought I will face so many balls’ - Pujara after winning the man of the match award.

“Losing the toss here was never easy. Not being able to take the field and watching the opposition get big runs was difficult. But we batted beautifully. KL and M Vijay, but the partnership between Saha and Pujara is the best I have seen. We didn’t expect a 150 lead. “, said Virat Kohli after the match.
