3rd Test: Bowlers Showed A Lot Of Character In The Face Of England Batters’ Onslaught, Says Rohit Sharma
Niranjan Shah Stadium: Following a massive 434-run win over England in the third Test at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, India captain Rohit Sharma credited his bowlers for showing character and patience in the face of the onslaught from the visitors’ batters, which in his opinion was one of the turning points of the game.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s overnight withdrawal after day two’s play because of a family medical emergency meant India were one frontline bowler short ahead of day three, as opener Ben Duckett smashed a quick century to lead England’s charge.
But other bowlers stepped up, with Mohammed Siraj taking 4-84 in a strong spell after lunch. Kuldeep Yadav impressed with his pace, turn and variations to take two scalps while Jadeja also picked two wickets and Jasprit Bumrah triggered the collapse by taking out Joe Root as England lost their remaining eight wickets for just 95 runs.
