Team India captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday dedicated India’s massive win over England to the flood victims of Kerala. India produced an all-round performance to outclass England by 203 runs in the third Test at Trent Bridge on Wednesday.
“Dedicate this victory to the flood victims in Kerala. This is our bit we can do from the Indian cricket team”.
He added that this was indeed a much-needed win for India.
“The victory was much-needed in this series and in context, and to have been clinical in all departments is a victory for the entire dressing room. A complete Test for us. There was no panic, and we were outplayed in only one game out of the last 5, and that was Lord’s”, he said.
“We dominated in this game because we put runs on the board and then the bowlers did well, they were waiting and ready, even Ashwin did well with his injury. The bowling was ready to take 20 wickets again, and I’m glad the batsmen stepped up. So we, as batsmen, did well to give them a cushion for the bowlers to go hard. Even the slips did well, and this mix of all skills couldn’t have come at a better time”, he added.
The fourth Test to start at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on August 30.
