Indian bowler Ravichandran Ashwin says his team have "no complaints" after falling one wicket short of victory against the Black Caps in a thrilling first test in Kanpur.
Ashwin was one of the stars of the test, scoring 38 and 32 with the bat and producing returns of 3-82 and 3-35 with the ball.
He took the key wickets of Tom Latham and Tom Blundell on the final day as India closed in on victory, but was denied in the final overs by the Black Caps' final pairing of Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel.
As the light faded, Ashwin couldn't get another over in to try and clinch a last-gasp victory, but says he had no issues with the test finishing early due to the bad light.
"We were keeping things under control, we were bowling in good areas and we knew we had the time to go on and put some pressure on them and could get the job done, but light was always going to come [into play] in the last session, there has been bad light in play every single day of this test match, so we did expect it – no complaints," Ashwin said on Star Sports, with captain Ajinkya Rahane sharing similar sentiments shortly after.
