Young Team India speedster Gurnoor Brar has admitted that he was demotivated after giving away a lot of runs in a couple of ODI matches. He, however, added that he learnt his lessons from the tough times and also credited Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for guiding him as well.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Brar said: “Matches in Guwahati and Lord’s were demotivating, but it was important to learn from those experiences. I had some open net sessions with Virat and Rohit bhai, and they gave me a lot of inputs about my bowling. Shubman Gill also guided me. My plan was simple – to hit my lengths and back my skills. Every day is a learning opportunity, and I want to keep improving and adapting. I was looking to bowl fuller initially and then use the bouncer at the right moment.”

Brar also credited veteran pacer Umesh Yadav for sharing his experience with him when the two played together in the Ranji Trophy.

“I also played the Ranji Trophy, and those overs helped me. I learnt a lot from Umesh Yadav paaji. He took a five-wicket haul in the first match, and I observed how consistently he could hit his lengths. I asked him about it, and he gave me a lot of inputs,” he concluded.
