After getting placed in the red-ball format, Bumrah has also developed to deliver outswinger and good length delivery.
“The wicket looks good. It’s always a good feeling to come to a place that has pace, bounce, and movement off the pitch. I always focus on what I have to do on a given day; I don’t focus too much on the past. I used to play a lot of tennis ball cricket before playing serious cricket. So the yorkers and slower balls were developed there. But now I have started playing Test cricket. So I have developed the outswinger, a good bounce and the good length delivery as well.” Jasprit Bumrah said ahead of the beginning of the match.
