Rohit Sharma took to social media to post a cheeky praise for Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Druv Jurel after India beat England by 434 runs in the third Test to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
The massive win was set up by Yashasvi Jaiswal who remained unbeaten on 214 in India’s second innings. Sarfaraz Khan scored back-to-back fifties on his debut. Druv Jurel, effected a brilliant run out after making a 104-ball 46 in the first innings.
“Ye aajkal ke bacche,” read Rohit Sharma’s Instagram story.
At the post-match press conference too, the India skipper credited the young and inexperienced members of his side for their role in delivering the team’s biggest ever Test win, in terms of runs.
“Obviously it’s a very good feeling to win a game like that and especially with such a young team as well. (We had) two debutants (Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel) and not a lot of Test matches amongst the playing eleven as well,” Rohit told the media here after India’s win.
“A lot of these guys are learning from the experience that they’re having in the middle. We got to learn a lot about how we played in Hyderabad and then in Vizag when we won.”
Rohit said India have had to work really hard given the circumstances (injuries to senior players).
“We knew it’s not going to be an easy one for us to just come out here and win the series. We have (had) to work really, really hard, especially with a lot of our front line players missing as well,” Rohit said.
“A lot of credit to these young boys who have come in and showed a lot of character. Looks like they actually belong here and they want to stay here as well,” he added.
Rohit preferred to let Yashasvi Jaiswal carry on with his red-hot form and not speak much about it.
“I won’t say anything about Jaiswal now, everyone is talking about him. Let him play. He’s playing well and (that) is good for us. He’s in good form. I’m not going to say much more than that,” he said.
The fourth Test will be played in Ranchi from February 23.
