Elaborating on the secret to his success bowling accurate lengths with utmost precision, he added: “Today, surprisingly, I was very calm, I wasn’t panicking at all and very happy to contribute to the team’s success. I only take one ball and one day at a time and if you think like that you don’t feel pressure at all.”
Bumrah also won praises for his touching gesture towards Quinton de Kock, who committed a costly error after he couldn’t gather the ball which went for a boundary in the 19th over.
