Holder after the match talked about the team’s performance. For batters, he said that they need to work on themselves and take the ownership of their performances. Bowlers have worked hard.
“Obviously disappointed, we didn’t play a complete game of cricket in both the games. We need to put up the scores and fight out those tough periods, it’s a tough question on how to fix the batting. It’s an individual thing, we need to take ownership of our performances. The bowlers gave their 100% as we’ve been on the field every single day of this Test series, and the bowlers have delivered. It’s been a heavy workload on the bowlers, and at no point have they dropped their heads,” said Jason Holder

Jason Holder appreciates India’s performance
He praised the performances of the Indian team and said that they played quality cricket.
“They knew our bowling was good – they made us work hard for those wickets. They are a quality side and they played quality cricket, we didn’t bat well enough. That’s the quality of their side. As a batter you need to get in, only then it gets easier. You had to work hard for your runs,” he added.
