“In the middle, it was just about having a chat, letting him know, ‘You belong here.’ That is the most important thing, because when you’re playing your first Test match, you kind of keep asking yourself whether you belong here or not, but my job from the other side was to just keep telling him, ‘You’ve done all the hard yards, it’s just about enjoying your time in the middle. Don’t worry about the results, just enjoy your time, and if you do that, the results will flow.'”
The Indian team’s dominant performance extended beyond Jaiswal’s heroics. They posted an imposing total of 421/5 in their only batting effort, declaring with a substantial lead of 271 runs.

There’s not much to tell them [about] what we need to do. It’s just about going to them and giving them that freedom to go and express because that is when they’re doing their best for the side as well.”
