Senior Indian batsman Suresh Raina recalled his time spent with Rishabh Pant last year in July and his declaration that he wants to be the best wicket-keeper batsman in the world with a lot of belief. He added that Pant had worked on his fitness with him and also his batting mindset.

India’s Navdeep Saini, who battled through injury in the fourth Test at the Gabba, revealed that it was heart-shattering to get injured mid-match, but stated that he had no hesitation in bowling through pain upon the captain’s request. Saini also stated that he expects to get fully fit very soon.

Following a turn-around series win for the Indians, there have been calls to make Ajinkya Rahane the permanent Test skipper but Brad Hogg claims that a change in leadership will affect Virat Kohli’s batting. He also insisted that Rahane has been calm and quite decisive during his time as skipper.

Shubman Gill, who made his Test debut in Indian colours against Australia professed his happiness over his contribution in India’s victory. While stating that the series made him a better cricketer, he is looking forward to scoring runs consistently at the top level, starting from England series.
