Dhruv Jurel (Player of the Match): "I try to play according to the situation. In the last innings, some runs were needed because we had to bat last. I thought I'll try to score some runs as we won't be chasing much.
The partnership was needed and I played with tailenders who played really well. Credit must go to them for the way they played.
Obviously, it was a great experience to face Anderson. I have seen him bowl on TV and the plan was to play according to the merit of the ball.
Me and Gill set small targets of 10-10 runs. We decided to put a partnership to keep them away from the win."

Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "It's been a very hard-fought series, without a doubt. And to come on the right side of it at the end of four Test matches feels really, really good. Really out of everyone in the dressing room, there were a lot of challenges thrown at us. But I thought we responded pretty well to different challenges in different Test matches. I thought we were quite composed in what we wanted to achieve and what we wanted to do on the field, and yeah, very happy.
All the hard work that they have done in the past, in the growing up years, coming through the whole circuit of playing domestic cricket, playing the local club cricket and performing there and then coming here, obviously, it's a big challenge to play Test match cricket. We all know that but these guys when I look at them when I talk to them, the responses that I get from them is quite, you know, my job and Rahul bhai's job is to make sure that we give them the environment that they want to be in and they don't feel too much about going out there and getting the job done. They want to get the job done, but there is no point of keep talking to them about it or reminding them about it because when they come here, they are very clear about what they want to do.
Jurel, especially playing his second game, showed solid composure, and calmness as well, and got the shots as well. The guys played all-round the wicket. In the first innings, 90 of his was very, very crucial for us to get close to that target, close to that first inning runs that England got, and then obviously again in the second inning, showed a lot of maturity, a lot of composure as well, along with Gill.

Yeah, absolutely. I think it's always not pleasing when you miss your key players. But again, there's nothing we can do as a group. Those guys are proven players in all sorts of conditions. And to come and fill their shoes. Obviously to these guys was not easy. There was pressure from the outside, not inside. But I thought they responded very well in all the situations. Like I said at the start, in all the situations that were thrown at them, they responded pretty well. And then obviously when you make a mark like that you hold yourself in a good position. But again, the performances like this obviously will motivate them. And make sure that whenever the opportunity comes these guys are ready for it.
Yeah, without a doubt. We turn up to every Test match thinking that we want to win no matter where we stand or what has happened in the past. Obviously, this was a great series that we played. The four games that we played. Still, one more to go but we want to make sure that we turn up well in that game as well and try and put our best foot forward. Obviously playing a five-Test match series for some of these guys, they were not used to it. But guys have shown a lot of calmness and a lot of composure around it. So pretty confident that we put up the same kind of show. What we did in these last three test matches, even Hyderabad, I think we played well, fell a little short there. For us, nothing changes. We will still go with that same ambition of making sure that we do all things right and make sure we take it from them."
