"We were put under pressure and then came back strongly" - India captain Jasprit Bumrah after memorable win vs Australia in 1st Test BGT 2024-25
At the post-match presentation, Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah received the 'Player of the Match' award for his brilliant bowling performance across both innings, picking up a total of eight wickets, including a fifer in the first innings.
Reflecting on his first Test win as India skipper, he said:
"We were put under pressure and then came back strongly. Very happy with their response. You know I played here in 2018 I remembered that the wicket starts off soft and then gets quicker. This one was just a little less spicy. I told the guys to follow the process and have faith in their abilities so on a given day experience does matter but it is how you perform on the day."
He continued:
"Jaiswal had a great start to his career but this is the best Test innings he has played. He left the ball very well. Virat wasn't out of form, to be honest. He was looking very good in the nets and hopefully, he will go on from strength. The team is putting in a lot of effort so it feels good when the backing is there."
The second Test of the five-match series will commence on December 6 in Adelaide, which will be a day-night affair.
