I’m grateful for the applause you receive, but I always try to maintain my composure “Bumrah said.
“Because there is so much outside noise and diversity of opinion today, I prefer to always stay in the present. I try to concentrate on my own assessment and preparation because there can be confusion that can be created. If I check every box, I’ll do what I can, accept the outcome, and move on. I make an effort to be consistent, which gives me stability “Added he.

He has been playing for India for a very long time and is a very talented bowler. Bowling with him is fun. He is a very talented bowler, and we frequently have conversations in the middle.”
