“Incredible – test the cricket in its absolutely best,” Kaleria said. “There is nothing to compare with the requirements of the test cricket. It tests every ounce of the physical and mental toughness of the player for five days. This young Indian team, without Rohit and Virat, played incredibly under Shaubman Gill.Mohammed Siraj was another standout artist. Hyderabad Pacer wrapped five goals in the second exchange of the final test and ended the series as the best goal.“Mohammed Siraj is a real lion’s heart. His commitment to the team is unrivaled,” Kaleria said. “Playing all five tests, all of which went on, and mix with the same intensity shows its incredible fitness and passion. He did not give a pace on his shoulders.”The Indian victory in the final test was formed by key contributions across the album. Yashsvi Jaiswal laid the platform with a blister 118, while Akash Deep’s Gritty 66 in the second shift proved to be key.“In my opinion, Akash Deep’s 66 was in my opinion. These runs gave India much needed support,” Kaleria said. “Jaiswal’s attacking century, along with the late order from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, played the lead role in the tending of victory.”
