A bit of fight at the top and the game was ours: Sourav

Having gone toe-to-toe for most of the game, the manner of India’s defeat in the third Test was heartbreaking. Heading into the chase, the momentum was with Shubman Gill's side. The bowlers had come with an awe-inspiring display with the spinners superbly backing the early inroads made by the pace battery.

In the end the bowlers again put up such a valiant fight with the bat but the Indian supporters were left to rue what could have been.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly pointed out that a little bit of fight from the top-order would have clinched the game. Unfortunately, except for a 39 by KL Rahul, the other specialist batters crumbled. Karun Nair got 14 while Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant failed to get into double figures.
