India eventually chased down the target of 192 with seven wickets and a bit more than 19 overs to spare.

After the match, Bumrah said that his past experience of playing IPL matches on flat tracks helped him.

“There I tried to use my IPL experience about how to bowl on flat wickets. I have been playing in the IPL for the past 11 years, so it helps,” said Bumrah.

“I have played a lot of junior cricket on this ground. Since it was a flat wicket, I tried to implement that experience of mine here,” Bumrah said during a conversation with Hardik Pandya, in a video posted on BCCI’s official ‘X’ handle.

“Before getting hit for four boundaries, it’s vital to realise about the wicket right after one boundary. That’s what I was trying to communicate,” continued Bumrah, who was adjudged the Player of the Match.
