Rohit Sharma: Terrific comeback after the first game in Dharamsala. We showed plenty of character. Even today at one point they were going at 6 an over and to pull the game back from there is magnificent. This has been the hallmark of the team. Whenever we were defeated, we have always come back strong. As a captain, my job becomes a lot more easier that way. Very proud of the boys. I think the first game was a bit testing as a captain, because we didn't put enough runs on the board, and in the second game since we had lot of runs I had the luxury to try out a few things. It was a perfect game for me to settle in. And today was a perfect game. When you have bowlers like that in your side, the job becomes very easy for the captain. You throw the ball and they get you wicket all the time. Whenever we were put into the tough situations, we responded well. We played as a team more than anything else. Everyone knew what they needed to do as an individual to win the series and they perfectly did that. |

Kuldeep Yada is the Man of the Match Thisara Perera: Really disappointing for us. We played well in the first game, and it was a good chance to beat India in India, but we didn't execute the plans well in the last couple of games in both the departments. We got a good start today, but the middle order didn't capitalize and so we couldn't put enough runs on the board. He (Akila Dananjaya) is a very good talent and he has a great future. That's why I gave him the new ball. He is our top spinner in ODIs. We already lost the ODI series and now we have to think about our future. We have to stay at present and forget the rest. |
