Approached Kohli For The Ball As I Wanted To Create Pressure: Jasprit Bumrah
On a pitch that offered no support to pace bowlers, it was important to create pressure on England batsmen and force them to make mistakes, said India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who volunteered to do the job for his skipper Virat Kohli on Monday, the fifth day of the fourth Test.
"It is very important to create pressure. We thought it was an important phase. So I went up to him and told him that we should start creating pressure. So that was the intention behind it," Bumrah explained the reason behind him approaching the skipper and asking to give him the ball just after lunch as England were coasting along.
