‘The plan was to keep it simple’

"To be honest, it feels amazing. From Day 1 everyone fought hard and the result is there to see. Very happy. The plan was to keep it simple and hit a consistent spot. Not try too much and if I can get wickets from there it's a bonus and build pressure," Siraj said at the post-match presentation. 

With the win, India rose to the third spot in the latest WTC standings.
