Following India’s 2-1 victory against Australia, Suryakumar highlighted Bumrah’s influence on the bowling unit and how he acts like a mentor for other bowlers.

“From a bowling point of view as well, people are taking responsibility. Having an experienced bowler like [Jasprit] Bumrah around in the team and everyone chatting with him, learning a lot of skills, tricks and trade of the game, I think that’s a good thing. So there’s good friendship building up in that as well,” he said after the 5th T20I at The Gabba, Brisbane.

Yadav also said that India’s batting unit has been doing a commendable job over the last few months.

“From a batting point of view, definitely what we’ve been doing in the last six to eight months, I think we’re sticking to that, not changing anything. These guys are doing it really well. The way they bat at the top of the order puts a smile on everyone’s face when they’re batting together,” he said.

“So we are trying to get there. There’s never anything like all bases covered. We always learn from this game, every game we play. Yeah, till now things look good, touch wood, let’s continue that,” he added.
