Righto, that’s it for today. I need a lie down/to go and ice my knuckles. Taha Hashim’s report will be along very shortly and we’ll be back to bring you the three match ODI series that starts on Thursday in Nagpur. Thanks for your company – goodbye!

With 14 wickets and the ball on a string throughout – Varun Chakravarthy is the Player of the Series:

I’m happy that the fielding also drew some applause and the team has been emphasising improving fielding standards. I’ve been working hard with the fielding coach Mr. Dilip. This is the best I’ve bowled but there’s a lot of scope to improve. There were a few bad balls, I should not have bowled them!

It was just a matter of bowling the right ball at the right time, that’s what I was working on. This is very special, I would like to dedicate it to my son and my wife and my parents. I’d like to thank Surya (Yadav) and GG (Gambir, Head Coach) for backing me as well.”
