Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is one of the key bowlers for his side across formats. However, on Friday he said that it was nothing short of a dream come true for him when he made his team win with his brilliant bowling in the recently concluded Test series in West Indies. This is what he has always wanted to do. Bumrah has played just 12 Tests and already has 62 wickets to his name.

“For me, Test cricket was very important and I always wanted to play Test cricket and didn’t want to be a cricketer who has played (only) T20s and ODIs. I gave a lot of importance to Test cricket. I always wanted to make a mark in Test cricket,” Bumrah said.

“I had the belief that I have done well in first-class cricket, then I could replicate that in Test matches. The journey has just started, just played 12 Tests. When I made my Test debut in South Africa after playing two years of international cricket, it was a dream come true (moment),” he added.

“Being there playing in the white jersey was a great feeling and then slowly contributing to team success gave me satisfaction,” the pacer told, who became the third Indian bowler to pick a hat-trick in Test cricket said.

He uses the outswinger pretty well and according to him playing in England gave him the confidence to execute his skill well.

While he was asked about his away going ball, Bumrah said, “Not mastering it but I always had the out-swinger and not used it, but playing in England gave me a lot of confidence, the duke ball swings for a long time and that gave me a lot of confidence.

“I became more and more confident as I played more and more Test matches and because of that I was able to execute in Test matches,” he concluded.
