Sydney: Jasprit Bumrah, who was adjudged Player of the Series in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for his 32 scalps, said he was disappointed to miss out on bowling on day three, which he called the spiciest wicket of the series. At the same time, Bumrah said he had to listen to his body, especially after facing discomfort in his back, for which he went for scans on day two. Bumrah’s absence meant India didn’t have their bowling mainstay in defending 162, as Australia won by six wickets in Sydney to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series 3-1.
“A little frustrating but sometimes you have to respect your body, and you can’t fight your body. Sometimes you have to accept. Would have loved to bowl on the spiciest wicket of the series. Just had a little discomfort after the first innings,” said Bumrah in the post-match presentation ceremony.
Asked about the mood in the Indian camp before day three’s play, Bumrah stated, “The chatter was about belief. The other bowlers stepped up in the first innings as well. This morning the chat was also about belief. Lots of ifs and buts. IANS
