Feels Good: Jasprit Bumrah On 1st Five-Wicket Haul On Indian Soil

Mumbai: Talking about his first five-wicket haul in his fourth Test match on Indian soil, Jasprit Bumrah said it feels good to have contributed towards the team’s success in the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka.

Bumrah’s fifer bundled out Sri Lanka for 109 on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.

India set Sri Lanka a mammoth target of 447 and the visitors are 28/1 at stumps on the second day and need 419 more runs to win, with 9 wickets in hand.

“It feels good… when you play all three formats, you have to take care of your body and you miss home Tests sometimes. It was a chance and was able to contribute to the success of the team ” Bumrah said during the virtual press conference, there is always a good feeling.

Speaking about the tough playing conditions on the Bengaluru pitch, the pacer said that the players should be ready for every new challenge that comes their way.

The fast bowler said, “You always play in different conditions, every wicket will not be the same. If the bowlers get some help, it gives you (the batsman) a lot of confidence when you score runs on such a wicket,” said the pacer.

“Everybody is finding a way and looking forward to contributing because they know if they score good runs on a tough wicket, then that will give them a lot of confidence. You will not get flat wickets everywhere you play, so whenever it’s a challenge, you are always looking forward to that challenge. Nobody is complaining about the wicket,” said the pacer.

Indian bowlers need 9 more wickets in three days to clean sweep the Test series 2-0. Sri Lankan batters will have to play out their skins to come anywhere close to challenging the gigantic target set by hosts
