"Very very happy. Especially when you are visiting any of these countries and you know that you are 2-1 up," said stylish Indian opener Rohit Sharma in the video. The opener was named Man of the Match for his brilliant century.

Meanwhile, Indian speedster Umesh Yadav said, "We knew the wicket was flat so we had to put in a lot of effort on Day 5. We tried to bowl at good lengths and we tried to contain runs as we knew the wickets would come." Yadav, playing his first Test since December last year, picked up three wickets in each innings and was India's leading wicket-taker in the match.

Another player who had a massive impact on the game was Shardul Thakur. "The day I got to know I am playing the game, I planned on creating an impact in this game and creating such an impact that I make a useful and winning contribution for the team," Thakur told BCCI in the video.
