Here's What Mitchell Santner Said During Post-Match Presentation Ceremony

"Felt it was the hardest time in the second innings. Credit must go to India for the way they played in the second innings. Credit to Jaiswal for playing that way. But a name was on it and happy to get on the right side. My side is a bit sore. 20 overs on the rope. I felt it early on. But it was the kind of situation of going for the team and every time I got a wicket, it got better," said the Kiwi all-rounder.

"It's nice to contribute to the team. A very pleasant feeling for us to get a win here for the first time. Two days off before we go again in Mumbai. Every time you pick wickets, you get confidence. I felt the same during this Test. Just land the ball in the same spot consistently and vary some pace," he added.
