Young Indian seamer Kartik Tyagi has revealed that he learned a lot from senior pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and co. This was during his stint as a net bowler with the senior team in Australia last winter.
Tyagi revealed he was initially nervous about going to Bumrah but the latter made things easy for him by taking the initiative. The young pacer hailed it as a 'big moment' for him.
In a virtual press conference, the Rajasthan Royals pacer said:
"When I went to Australia, I didn't go to Jasprit bhaiya because I was nervous but he came to me and discussed many things with me and it was a big moment,"
"When I went to Australia, I learnt a lot. Lot of players were injured and a youngster can also win the tournament and I also want to win matches for India," Tyagi added.

He nailed his yorkers to perfection and ended up taking two wickets in addition to giving up just one run.
