KL Rahul on Jasprit Bumrah I kl rahul reacts on question that jasprit bumrah comes back in the form india vs england 1st test trent bridge I KL Rahul answer on Jasprit Bumrah comes back in form I IND vs ENG

Nottingham: Jasprit Bumrah has proved himself and his teammate Lokesh Rahul does not understand why the Indian pacer’s nine-wicket haul in the first Test against England here that ended in a draw is being called his ‘comeback’. Bumrah was in no mood at all in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand. Apart from this, his performance in Australia tour and series against England at home was also not impressive.

When asked how he feels after Bumrah’s return to form, Rahul expressed his surprise at the question. Rahul said in the post-match press conference, ‘Sir, I don’t know why you are saying that Bumrah has come back. He has proved himself at all times, in every match, in every situation and he is our number one bowler. We are happy that he is still doing what he has been doing since the first Test.

Rahul, who had already talked about his batting two days ago, praised the fast bowling attack, which took 20 wickets in the match. “The way we bowled in the first innings and the discipline we showed while bowling first after losing the toss is a positive side,” Rahul said. It was assumed that the team winning the toss would be in an advantage position and we bowled with utmost discipline.

Fast bowlers get rewarded for their work

“The way Mohammed Shami and Bumrah started and Shardul (Thakur) and Mohammad Siraj continued it, how they all worked together and bowled in the right places. They were rewarded for the way they stuck to their plan. Rahul said the batting unit performed well in challenging conditions between breaks due to rain.

“It was a challenging pitch and the kind of weather, going out and coming back again and again, it was not easy for us to maintain concentration. It is challenging to go out and come back again and again. Rahul said he is happy to play Test cricket after sitting out for more than two years.
