Team India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has admitted that he is looking forward to playing the 2023 World Cup match against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, October 14. Meanwhile, this is also his home ground and Bumrah said that he is looking forward to meeting his mother as well. The Indian pace bowler was brilliant in the match against Afghanistan on Wednesday in Delhi, registering spells of 4/39. His dismissed opener Ibrahim Zadran, then returned to pick up three more wickets and dismantled the opposition as well.
He said: “Yeah, obviously I’ve been away for a while now. I’ll be happy to see my mother at home. I’m going to see her. That’s the first basic thing for me. It’s obviously playing at home. I have not played a one-day international there. I have played a Test match. So yeah, the atmosphere is going to be exciting. I’m sure a lot of people are going to come. So, it will be a sight to see. So yeah, hoping for the best over there.”

“See at the end of the day you guys will anyway decide that this is, I was like this, I was like that, what I am doing. So, but I don’t work like that. As I told you, I look at on that day what I have to do. I look at my preparations. I am a little detached person. I don’t know what’s going around in the world. So, I just looked at what I have to do at that particular day and obviously reading the game, reading your strengths that what has worked for me in the past as well, keeping all of those things in mind, keep going forward,” Jasprit Bumrah concluded.
