“We had to be disciplined with the ball” – Jasprit Bumrah’s match-winning spell against Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup

During the post-match presentation, Jasprit Bumrah was honored with the Player of the Match award for his outstanding spell of 4-0-14-3. Sharing his thoughts on the victory and his performance, he remarked:

“It feels really good. We felt we were a little under-par. When the sun came out, the wicket got a bit better and we had to be disciplined with the ball against a team like Pakistan.”

”(On his game-plan) Tried to keep it simple. The wicket did get better and the swing was less. Tried to hit the seam more and focussed on the execution. The ball came out really well.”

Regarding the backing from the crowd and the journey ahead in the tournament, Bumrah included:

“It felt really good. Did not feel like we were not playing in India. The people were really loud and that gives us energy in the field too. (On the plan for the upcoming matches) Focus on the now. We have played two games, played really good cricket. Nothing changes, you just stick to your processes and try your best.”

India will face the USA in the 2024 T20 World Cup on Wednesday (June 12) at the same venue in New York.
