While speaking on Star Sports Shastri said, “He was relentless. If you’re bowling at lengths, the hard lengths when you beat the bat and get the edges, you expect some oddball (that may go loose). But he was mean, he gave nothing”.

The former India coach added, “He made sure the batsmen have their driving licenses in their pockets. He said ‘I don’t want to see your driving licenses, I don’t want to give you anything on the bat. I’m going to ping you on the backfoot and get you out’.”

Ravi SHastri was particularly impressed with how Prasdih Krishna sent Williamson packing and said, “Look at the way he got Williamson out. (Usually, bowlers would go) Top of off-stump, get the nick. He knew there was bounce there, and he said ‘I’ll take that nick to a foot-and-a-half, top of off-stump. He’s got the height, he’s got the wrist and he’s got the seam coming out high. Good to see an Indian banging it in against a world-class player”.
