Suryakumar Yadav lauded Sarfaraz Khan's work ethic and said that his looks may be deceiving as he can play for a long period of time and score big runs.

Sarfaraz said it was decided that they won't go for quick runs while batting with Pant but the excitement of getting to his maiden Test century got to him.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave a fitness update about Rishabh Pant, who was hit on his knee during the first Test vs New Zealand and did not keep for India. Rohit said Pant was not comfortable running and the team did not to push him beyond his limits which is why they decided to give him extra rest before the second test.
