The stumps are in a mess!! A controlled straight drive from Rajitha, backed away early but what he did well was to watch the ball till the very end. (On Suryakumar Yadav) He's batting at a different level and I'm happy that I'm in the same team as him. I had a finger injury, that's the reason I didn't bowl in this series but looking forward to bowling in the ODIs. In the field, I want to keep calm and let the boys learn. Didn't do anything different for this series, just that the captain gave me a lot of confidence in the dugout. The way the boys fought in this series, lots of positives. From the start of this series, I got in good form. This will give a lot of confidence to him and the team as well. A young team led by a young captain and India will be happy with the way things panned out. I'm really proud of him (Axar), the way he is batting down the order and hitting. The trophy is handed over to Hardik who gives it to the younger teammates and they're all merrily posing away for the photographs.
