Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif, who gave the assessment in a video on his YouTube channel
“Playing Tests isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, boss. It’s a very long game, and you have to keep bowling continuously. I felt that if someone like Virat Kohli had been playing this match, he would have been constantly shouting and keeping his team switched on. At times, I felt we took things for granted, thinking, ‘Just keep bowling, it will happen. The ball is turning so much, it will happen on its on. We created very few things ourselves. Our energy levels were also very low. That is why I am</U+E”
