The Indian captain, Virat Kohli, says that the result went their way but admits the quality of batting was not up to the standard by both teams. Tells they were looking to score more when they were at 100/3. Feels that the application from the batters was not right as he feels the pitch was better to bat on. Kohli says it was bizarre that 21 out of 30 wickets were off straight balls. Kohli feels the batters need to trust their defense a lot more and feels that is what Test cricket is all about. Kohli smiles and says Bumrah told that he is getting workload management while playing the Test and Ishant said that he is playing his 100th game, yet he is not bowling too much. Further adds that he told them to blame Axar as he is coming in and has just done the job. Kohli says he does not know what is the thing with Gujaratis and left-arm spinners as they always trouble the batters. Kohli says if the wicket offers something, Axar is very dangerous. On Ashwin, he says they need to stand up and take notice of what he has done. Adds he is happy that Ashwin plays for them. Kohli says they need to be ready for the hard grind, which they are. Adds a few extra days off with a tight schedule feels nice.
