Ian Chappell on Indian victory , effusive in praising Rahane and Pujara

On this day of courage, skill and belief, no one epitomised the toughness of this Indian side better than Cheteshwar Pujara. He was buffeted from pillar to post particularly by his nemesis Pat Cummins but he refused to buckle.

 

Without Pujara laying anchor to the innings, the hectic run chase would never have been possible. It was only with Pujara in occupation that the skill of Shubman Gill and the initiative of Rishabh Pant was able to flourish. As long as Pujara was there, India knew they could retreat into their shell and claim an honourable draw if all else failed.
