Brendon McCullum On Jasprit Bumrah: The Indian team won the second test match against England in a spectacular fashion by 106 runs. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah performed amazingly for Team India. He took a total of 9 wickets in the match and emerged as the biggest match winner for the team. He was given the Player of the Match award for his excellent performance. There have been reports in media reports that Bumrah may be rested from the third test match. The third Test match between India and England will be played on Rajkot grounds from 15 February. Now England coach Brendon McCullum has said a big thing for Bumrah.
Said this for Bumrah
Brendon McCullum said that his approach regarding this could be completely different. We will see what we can achieve. For now we have to praise Jasprit and say that he was excellent in the first innings of the second Test. He has the ability to bowl in every situation. When the ball swings it is more dangerous. He is an amazing bowler. He is a one of a kind bowler and gets a lot of swing out of the air.
We have faced very good bowlers in the last 18 months and have found ways to counter them and we have to do the same this time too. McCullum said that the score of 1-1 after two Test matches is a clear indication that we are in the competition. He said that we have played very good cricket in the last two Test matches. Yes, we lost the second test but were successful in winning the first match.
England team returned to Abu Dhabi
After the second Test in Visakhapatnam, the England team went back to Abu Dhabi. They will reach Rajkot on February 12 ahead of the third Test starting on February 15. Brendon McCullum said that this time in Abu Dhabi there will not be the same kind of session for the team as it was before the start of the India tour. He said that there were two different Test matches and for us it is an opportunity to get away from the heat. I was talking to Rahul Dravid and he told that all his players are going to their homes. Home is a bit far for us, so we chose Abu Dhabi and we will enjoy with the family. Then when we reach Rajkot we will work hard.
