"We certainly came to win as did India. India played really well and put us on the back foot, we had to fight it out. They ran in hard and gave it their all. We fielded every day in this Test," said Lanning during the post-match presentation.

The match was hampered by the rain several times and Lanning feels if not for the weather, the pink-ball Test would have witnessed the result.
