3rd Test Day 2 Highlights: India trump England by 10 wickets within 2 days in Ahmedabad, take 2-1 series lead

"When it happens, it feels so easy. I am not thinking much. I want to continue this form. I am happy that if I am not contributing with the bat, I am doing it with the ball. My strength is to bowl wicket-to-wicket and not give him room. The mindset of batters is they play out a couple of maidens, they either go for a sweep or try to hit over the infield," said Axar Patel after winning the Man of the Match award.

Axar Patel bags the Man of the Match award for his outstanding performance. He scalped a total of 11 wickets and became the first bowler to do so in a day/night Test.

"To be honest, I don't think the quality of batting was up to standards. We were 100 for 3 and bowled out for less than 150. It was just the odd ball turning and it was a good wicket to bat in the first innings. It was bizzare that 21 of the 30 wickets fell to straight balls, Test cricket is about trusting your defence. Lack of application ensured it was a quick finish. Bumrah said I am getting workload management while playing. Ishant said I am playing my 100th game and still don't get to bowl. I have never experienced this before. A bizarre game that got over in 2 days. A lot of people were relieved when Jaddu got injured. But then this guy comes in. Bowls it quicker and from a bigger height as well. If the wicket has something in it, Axar is very lethal. I think we need to stand up and take notice of what Ashwin has done. In Tests, he is a modern-day legend. As a captain, I am so pleased he is in my team," said Indian captain Virat Kohli at the post-match presentation.

Indian opener Rohit Sharma bags the Game Changer of the match after scoring a fifty in first innings and guiding India to victory in the second.

"We were 70 for 2. But we didn't really capitalize on it. 250 on that wicket would have made it different. We will come back using this hurt and come back as a better team. The plastic coating on the ball gathered the pace of the wicket. It was high-quality bowling as well. Both sides struggled on that wicket. We don't define ourselves on a performance like this. We shouldn't have any baggage from the previous games going into the last game. We have seen with the ball in hand, we can pick up wickets. I think it sums up the wicket, if I am getting a fifer," said Root at the post-match presentation.

·This is the 22nd instance where the match has been won in 2 days of play.

·This is also the 2nd time for India that they have won a match in 2 days. The last time was against Afghanistan in 2018 at Bengaluru.

·This is the 4th time England have been on the losing end of a match ending in 2 days

"Pleasant experience (on reaching 400 Test wickets), good that it happened in a winning cause. We were worried after getting bowled out for 145, didn't think we didn't have many runs on the board. But we then bow3led beautifully on a wicket assisting us," says Ashwin.

A cracking shot from Shubman Gill. What a way to start the final session. Gill goes on to the backfoot and just whips it through the on side using his wrists to collect a boundary.

Shubman Gill on strikes, it will Jack Leach who will bowl the first over of the last session of Day 2. Here we go.

We are minutes away from the third session of Day 2, which could well turn out to be the final session of this Test match. India openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma will walk out to with only 38 to get. But those runs won't be easy for sure.

Sunil Gavaskar on Star Sports says R Ashwin is up there with the best like Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli. The legendary cricketer was asked where does Ashwin rank among India's best match-winners
