Of the many many takeaways and tidbits about this game and this series, I still cannot get my head around these two...
Many other smaller things too... Basically Bewda being the brains behind all of the strategies here. Virat being a key part of the decision making after the 36 all out, not sleeping and having a midnight meeting with the leadership group to strategize before he left. Rahane for being the relatable and trustworthy big brother figure for everyone in the team, leading the team with poise and dignity and a lot of bravery, heart and brains inspite of being confronted with challenges seldom faced by any cricket side in a tour. Bumrah and then Siraj taking over as leaders of the attack in the absence of Ishant. Ash taking over grooming Washi in that last test, Bumrah doing the same for Siraj, Saini and then young Siraj taking that role for Natarajan. Pujara and Ash taking over some of the leadership responsibilities to help out Rahane. Rohit coming in and immediately taking over handling the youngsters, it looks like he is something special when it comes to getting these youngsters get over their nervousness and perform. Amazing. Unlike sunilz, I am not looking at a captaincy change out of hatred and spite but I do feel Virat should use Rohit and Rahane more in the LO and test formats respectively, especially to help deal with the youngsters coming in.
And of course, it is fun to go back and read all the posts that criticized me for suggesting we should play 5 bowlers in Melbourne after the 36 ao. You got bowled out for 36, and you wanna strengthen your bowling, they said. I now get to
at all of that. 
- Sundar, in his debut test, spelling out that they will go for the win and how they will go for the win in that pressure cooker situation.
- Shardul, as the 12th man, deciding NOT to relay messages from the dressing room because Ash and Vihari were playing well on their own.

Now we know it definitely was and the debutant called the play.

While I like this interview, there is some sort of victim complex in Ashwin.
He has been put under microscope because despite his awesome record in ASIA + WI, he is yet to pick a 5fer in SENA countries. I hope Ashwin doesn't feel that he has proved his critics wrong because he still hasn't single handedly won a match in SENA countries.

Ashwin was our best bowler in the first 2 tests.

No one has ever won a test match singlehandedly in cricket history apart from Malcolm Marshall.

No. of people here who write Kohli instead of Kholi are alarmingly high isn't it ? Not sure if it is intentional or not.

I was of those who made that mistake. I now remember it by Kohli KOing the opposition.

He actually dismissed Kohli for the first time in the 2020 IPL.

And literally everything he said in the interview is actually true. Strange to call it "victim mentality". I prefer calling it "saying it as it is mentality"
