India’s fielding was extremely bad in the first innings of the Leeds Test match. The players of India left not one or two but 6 catches which later got heavy on the team and England team managed to score 465 runs. Not only this, during the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, three important catchs were missed in which he played an important role in maintaining England in the match. This was the reason that India could get only 6 runs lead. After the end of the day’s play, Bumrah said in the press conference that when the catches are missed, I get disappointed for a moment. This is part of the game and the players are new and are working hard. I do not want to make a spectacle and do not want to put much pressure on them. No one is doing this intentionally.
Bumrah further said that, they are part of the game. Instead of thinking about this, we should focus on further sports. Naturally, if the catch was taken, it would have been good but the players learn this way.
Apart from this, the Indian star bowler has also given a befitting reply to the critics who were considered to be hesitant due to his peculiar bowling action. Bumrah said for such people that, people felt that I would play eight months in all these years, some said that 10 months, but now I have played 10 years international cricket and 12-13 years IPL. He further said that, even now people say that he will not be able to play further. Let them say, I will keep doing my work. These things will continue to be revealed every four months, but as long as God is pleased, I will keep playing.
He said that, I make the best preparations on my behalf and then leave it to God how much more blessings he shows me. Bumrah, who played an important role in preventing England from taking an edge in the first innings, said that he is not to change the perception of the people here.
