Excellent series. The hunger that we showed after the first loss was phenomenal to watch. Lot of the players had long flights, they weren’t used to the conditions. The way they adapted was remarkable. I have been there (Sri Lanka) once for Asia Cup, looking forward to go there and performing.
Shubman Gill | India captain
I thought Blessing bowled well the whole series. Batting-wise, we are below-par. The grey thing for me is the attitude in the field, that’s something we can improve. Richie wasn’t fit at the start, to have him fit is a blessing. To have Richie and Blessing complementing each other, very happy to see them. My workload needs to be managed. I will go back to play domestic cricket. I am still available for Test match cricket. I leave for Hundred in a few days time.
Sikandar Raza | Zimbabwe skipper
Good to have finished with a win. After the first game, the conditions were similar to South Africa getting that extra bounce and extra pace. We had enough time to get a lot of information. Lot of takeaways and learnings, I bowled a lot in this series. We had a lot of success as a team.
Washington Sundar | Player of the Series
It’s always a special thing to contribute in both departments. Took some wickets, very happy. In T20s, you can struggle but one shot and you can get back. The ground is big, we enjoy playing here, the atmosphere and the people are amazing.
Shivam Dube | Player of the Match
Proud moment for Mukesh!!
Feels great. After the 1st game everyone woke up and we were clinical after that. Really proud of the boys and enjoyed it to the max. [on Abhishek Sharma] We opened our jerseys together. I went to his room, he opened it first and then I did. We played the 2018 WC together and next 6 years we did not play. Doing it with him was pretty special. I had a chat with Sanju bhayya and spoke that now we had to build a RR partnership. Once we had wickets in the end, we could go like hell and it was a tricky wicket, glad we could do well. [on playing under Gill] It has been fun, we have played age group together, under 16. He has been like a captain even when he was not captain. In the field he has been exceptional.
Riyan Parag
Last few games it was pretty good for bowling and as Riyan said after the 1st game we all woke up. Positive was the next match was next day so we did not think have time to think too much. We were talking about this in the IPL, if we get our caps it will be a dream come true. We never thought we will debut together. We spoke about it long back and it happened. Special mention to Shubman and coaches for trusting in my bowling after the first two games, I did not bowl well also, I’m working hard on my bowling and it’s good to have the backing from the management. We all saw and it is always special when you play Pakistan and even more so when it’s a final, congrats to my mentor [Yuvraj Singh].
