Speaking to Sports Today, Shardul said: ‘We were also confident that they would score fast against us and it happened. He got off to a good start. The day’s play ended after six overs and we returned to refresh the next day. The next day, both batsmen were busy scoring runs. His plan was to make it a big goal in front of us by scoring fast.

He added, ‘But as a bowler at the time, I thought that if we take a wicket here, they won’t be able to score fast. The idea was to put the ball out of the wicket. Speaking of my spell, I put several good long balls to Harris, and I thought it was time to throw the bouncer. I tried and I got his wicket. After this, our bowlers made a huge comeback, all of them with different energy and the match was completely opposite. Shardul took four wickets for 61 in the second innings while Mohammad Siraj took five for 73. Australia were all out for 294 in the second innings.
