As the reporter reminded Jasprit Bumrah that most of his success has come overseas, the seamer returned with a fitting reply. Mumbai Indians pacer reckoned that not playing frequently at home doesn’t make much difference to him. The speedster added that he has played a lot of Ranji cricket and the home conditions aren’t alien to him.
“It doesn’t make a difference to me. Whenever I get an opportunity, I try and do it well. Of course, I have played a lot of Ranji Trophy cricket, so these conditions are not alien to me. It’s always a special feeling to play Test cricket anywhere. I don’t look at a match or a particular place. I just analyze the wicket and use it to my advantage. It is no different now,”
Jasprit Bumrah said while speaking in the press conference.
Further, the 28-year-old also opened up on India’s Test combination for the first Test match against Sri Lanka, scheduled in Mohali. Team India are likely to make some key changes in the playing XI as both Ajinkya Rahane and Chesteshwar Pujara have been dropped from the team.
Also, Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari are available for selection. Jasprit Bumrah decided to play safe as he denied giving any details regarding the team combination. He hinted that India will keep the playing conditions in mind before reaching any decision.
“We just had a look at the track. It’s a little early to figure out the combinations. We just had an optional session and everyone was looking really good,”
Jasprit Bumrah concluded.
