Rohit Sharma (captain, Team India):
As the game goes on, the expressions change. There is a lot of experience in the dressing room to handle the composure and KL and Gill showed exactly that. (About the conditions) We knew there wouldn’t be much grass on the pitch and it would be a bit slower. That is how it exactly played. With the bat as well, we were a bit under pressure but when you play against a quality side, you expect this.
(On Mohammed Shami) Very happy for him, we know the quality that he has, the kind of matchwinner he is for us. Every time we throw the ball at him, he delivers for us. (About Gill’s sixes) I thought you were going to mention the dropped catch. Gill has the class, good to see he batted till the end.(On Axar Patel missing a hattrick) Might take him for dinner tomorrow, it was an easy catch should have taken it. These things happen, and the way these guys bowled as well was great.
They were 39/5 before Towhid and Jaker put on a partnership. Credit to them. (Expected surface for IND vs PAK) I am not the curator to tell how the pitch will behave, there have been a lot of matches that have been played on this ground and we will come out and see on the 23rd how things play out
Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain, Bangladesh):
I think the way we batted in the first 10 overs cost us the game. It is tough for the lower order batters to put on a score. Jaker and Towhid batted very well and we had a few dropped catches and chances. Had we taken them it would have been a bit different.
The ball on this surface turned a bit and Jaker and Towhid batted well, hopefully, they carry on. Had the pacers picked up two or three wickets early on, it could have been our game. We have played in Rawalpindi against Pakistan and the boys will adapt
