Jasprit Bumrah has been in fine form since his comeback from injury, and he is currently spearheading the Indian bowling attack in the ODI World Cup 2023. The 29-year-old recently spoke about how he deals with the pressure of expectations, saying that he tries not to get perturbed by it.

“I don’t really look at it as pressure or responsibility because as a child I wanted to be a cricketer. I wanted to play for India. I wanted to do the difficult job. I wanted to make my team win. So that is what I’m doing,” Jasprit Bumrah told ICC Digital Insider after India’s triumph over Pakistan.

“I’ve learned a lot over the years. I tried to use my experience, I’ve played a lot in this country. So you use my experience and try to help the team as much as you can because if you think about pressure and expectation and responsibility, you won’t be able to perform with that baggage of expectation,” the premier Indian pacer added.

Bumrah has been in great form in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 thus far. He is the joint leading wicket-taker in the marquee event with eight scalps in three games. Bumrah has an immaculate average of just 11.62.

In his home ground in Ahmedabad, Bumrah produced a scintillating effort against Pakistan in India’s most recent game and finished with figures of 2/19 in seven overs. He was adjudged Player of the Match for his effort after the ‘Men in Blue’ won the match comprehensively by seven wickets.
