Bumrah, who made a comeback within the layout later a protracted 11-month trauma layoff, took 4 wickets within the two fits performed within the layout, at a median of 9.75.
“Very happy to be back and play some cricket. Frustrating when you’re waiting for a game to happen. Did not see this coming, weather was fine in the morning,” Bumrah stated within the post-match presentation about his comeback and the downpour.
On captaining the second-string Indian crew, Bumrah stated that it used to be an celebrate.
“An honour to lead the side, everyone was very eager and enthusiastic. Whenever you get an opportunity to lead your side, anyone would love to do that. As a cricketer, you always want responsibility,” Bumrah stated about his captaincy.
When requested about his trauma layoff, Bumrah humorously spoke back that it used to be no longer one life.
“All good, no complaints. Not one year (out of the team), 10-11 months (he jokingly corrects presenter Alan Wilkins). Makes my job easier when players are so confident, and they tell me what to do,” Bumrah added.
Eire captain Paul Stirling stated that hosts have a accumulation of positives from the layout.
“Just periods of good cricket from us in patches. Lots of positives, but it’s about finishing those games off. Hopefully we’ll take these learnings. Brilliant to have India over and play in front of good crowds here. Would’ve been happier if we could’ve got some fresh faces out there tonight. It’s a buildup now for the next sort of 10 months,” Stirling stated.
