Asked about the short gap between the second leg of the IPL and the T20 World Cup, Bumrah said at the post-match press conference, “Absolutely, you need a break.”
“But this is the reality of the times we are living in; it is difficult, it is an epidemic and we are living in a bubble. We try to adapt but bubble fatigue and mental fatigue also creep in.
He said, “You’re doing the same thing over and over. It’s the same, and you can’t control a lot of things here.”
The Indian team got a six-day break between their first match against Pakistan and Sunday’s engagement against New Zealand. Skipper Virat Kohli called it ‘ridiculous’ at the toss last night, describing it as fatigue and helpful in swallowing.
Bumrah said, “Sometimes you miss your family after being on the road for six months. It all plays out in your mind sometimes. But when you are on the field, you think about all those things.” I don’t think.”
“You don’t control all those things: the scheduling and all and which tournament is played when.
“Obviously, living in a bubble and being away from your family for so long plays a part in the minds of the players. But the BCCI has also tried its best to make us feel comfortable.”
India have been in the bio-bubble since June when they landed in England to play the World Test Championship final. The team got a three-week break after that game against the Black Caps, which was followed by a grueling five-Test series against England.
Reflecting on Sunday’s match, Bumrah said the batsmen tried to play an “aggressive game” to give an extra 30 runs to the bowlers on the dew-laden surface as it was a communication from the team management.
Interestingly, Bumrah’s decision to play the “attacking game” came minutes after captain Virat Kohli admitted in a post-match presentation that neither his men had displayed proper “body language” nor did the bowlers admit that they were not in a position to play the game. He was “brave” in his approach.
The difference in statements from the captain and his leading fast bowler shows that “communication” has indeed been a problem.
“The batsmen wanted to cushion 20 to 30 extra runs and in the process they played a lot of aggressive shots which didn’t come today. In the second innings, batting becomes easier, so they wanted to give that cushion to the bowlers. And in that thought process, played a lot of aggressive shots,” Bumrah tried his best to defend the poor performance.
The pacer said the communication was clear as to what the state of the game was.
“Getting 25 to 30 runs (on a two-pace wicket) was not very easy, but that was the extra responsibility you had to take on. It’s tough and that’s why everyone playing the evening game is choosing to bowl first.
“There is a huge gap and our batsmen knew they had to give us a cushion. They tried their best and it didn’t work out today,” Bumrah said.
According to Bumrah, one of the primary reasons for India’s failure is that the team batting first found that the ball was catching and three batsmen – KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan – made the ‘pick-up pull shot’. tried. ‘ Couldn’t execute it. This was not a problem in the second innings.
“In the second innings, the length ball was not being caught. In the first innings, the ball was in hold and hence the pick-up pull was not coming. So it was difficult to make the shot. Those options changed in the second innings,” he said. .
But Bumrah does not want to fall into the quagmire of defeat.
“Some days will be good and some days bad. Neither be too high on good days nor too low on bad days. All these things are integral, be in the moment and analyze what went well and move on.” he said.
