I’d say that’s enough from me. Many congratulations again to India, a wonderful side packed with class and clutch all-rounders. New Zealand, it’ll happen eventually.
I should add, my criticism of the tournament’s shape is not a pop at the players in that India side. Rohit Sharma remains remarkable at the top of the order – proved today – while that was an outstanding display from the spinners in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy are magicians; Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel are world-beating all-rounders. I could go on with the rest of them – they’re all outstanding, and you have to be to get into that XI. They’ve won this without Jasprit Bumrah and with Rishabh Pant on the bench. They are the best team in the world.
