The first test match between India and England is getting delayed because of rain in Trent Bridge and it will be a big disappointment for cricket fans if this test ends in a draw due to rain.
However, the good thing is that the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is back in form as he has ended up with nine wickets in both the innings and it won’t be wrong to say that his performance has played a pretty good role in making India’s position stronger in the test match. In the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah bowled 20.4 overs, took 4 wickets and gave away 46 runs while in the second innings, he took a fifer in 19 overs and gave away 64 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah was the target of his critics for not being able to perform well in the recent past, especially in the finals of the World Test Championship in which he didn’t even take a single wicket. When he was asked about the adjustments that he made in order to regain his form, the Gujarat pacer said that he didn’t make many adjustments, he just made some adjustments in his mindset and not technical ones.
He further stated that he stopped looking at the end results too much, adding that he is trying to give his best in the present and is backing his existing skills along with learning new ones.
As India was in a good position, when he was asked how they would take things from here, Jasprit Bumrah said that when a player starts playing, he has to believe in himself and also believe that he is playing to win. He adds that they are not looking very far ahead at the moment and will like to play session by session tomorrow with a positive mindset.
India needs 157 to win with nine wickets in hand as they are chasing the target of 209 on the fifth and final day of the first test match. Hopefully, rain will stop and we will get a result in the first test match.
