Team India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has revealed that he is working on a few things in his bowling to try and sharpen his skills more as well. However, he didn’t want to give out any details in front of Joe Root. Notably, Bumrah and Root attended the press conference for India and England, respectively, after Day 2 of the Lord’s Test on Friday, July 11 as well. While Bumrah claimed a five-fer, his 15th in Test cricket, Root scored his 37th Test ton before getting bowled by Bumrah for 104.

Speaking at the press conference, Bumrah said: “There are few things, but Joe is standing there, so he should not listen to all of these things. I always felt that I have only one career and I should be able to do everything. I wanted to learn everything. That is still my motivation. If I have a lot of different things up my sleeve, then in different conditions I can contribute more and I [will] have answers for every different kind of condition. So all of these things are there. I am still trying to add few more things, but once I am able to get that, then I will be able to explain it a little more.”

While Bumrah picked up five wickets in England’s first innings at Lord’s, Nitish Kumar Reddy also claimed the first two wickets to fall on Day 1. Speaking after the opening day’s play, Reddy also credited Bumrah, among others, for the improvement in his bowling as well.

“That answer is a lie. He’s not asked me anything. The other thing is that these youngsters are very confident. They don’t need a lot of over-guidance or over-information. Whenever and in whatever capacity they need me, I am right there to help them out. I share my experienced – what I learnt in the previous tours over here. That’s as simple as I am trying to keep it,” Jasprit Bumrah said.
