Rameez Raja said on the performance of the Indian team
Whether you win or lose in a test match, your performance decides your path. Bangladesh had good conditions. Hasan Mahmood had bowled very well but Rishabh Pant (Ramiz Raja on Rishabh Pant Century) made a brilliant comeback and scored a century, Shubman Gill also scored a century, after which now it is a big challenge for Bangladesh to avoid defeat. Rishabh Pant made a mistake in the first innings and did not respect the form, then he respected the form and scored 100 runs. The way Shubman Gill was calm and scored a strong century is worthy of praise.
Rameez Raja said about Jadeja and Ashwin
If we talk about the role of Rolls-Royce regarding Rohit Sharma, then Gill also looks no less. Another good thing for the Indian batsmen is that not many batsmen remain out of form at the same time. He has got two stars. In the first innings, they had two all-rounder stars Jadeja and Ashwin who batted first and then in the second innings Ashwin took 6 wickets.
Rameez Raja said on India’s strategy
You can see it from here. If in the first innings the fast bowlers were dominant and the ball was swinging, then in the second innings when the conditions were favorable for the spinners, they dominated. However, Ashwin did wonders with his bowling and took 6 wickets.
I think overall it is a successful test match for India and Gautam Gambhir (Ramiz Raja on Gautam Gambhir) will get confidence as a coach. Now it is time to talk to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli because these are two big stars who have not scored runs in this match. They will enter the next match with a lot of preparation. This is the thing that the coach has to talk to an out-of-form, out-of-touch player. I would say that the fielding of Team India is very good. We saw different types of catches near slip, overall fitness is also good. So these are all the things that make India a very big team.
