Jasprit Bumrah: It feels really good. I don't think about all those adjectives (being called a magician). It is really good to get this win, we had lost a couple of days.. the way we batted yesterday and it was a test for our fitness as well as you see how hot the weather is, bowling every day and trying to create an impact, a really special win. You use your experience but it is easier said than done, because you have played a lot of cricket and played on different surfaces you find solutions, this wicket was completely different to what we got in Chennai, so quickly communicated with the others and tried to find the best option. I like that challenge when you go against your nature, conditions are not favourable, the wicket is not favourable, how do you get answers, all of these battles I really like. We have played a lot of cricket in India, you understand the nature of the wicket and the SG ball sometimes reverses as well but sometimes because of the humidity you are not able to keep the ball dry, so you find solutions and discuss it with other players as well. He (Akash Deep) comes up to me quite a lot before a spell and asks me what is happening and what should I do, we have had a lot of interesting conversations, the energy he brings on the ball, he gives his best on the field and when he's bowling, he has got a lot of heart and that is a good sign for us going forward. Hopefully he goes from strength to strength. We got a break after the WC, we were preparing for the Test series and you have to keep that in mind, obviously you understand how many overs you are going to bowl and where your body is, what is the schedule looking like, we have a long season ahead and that is why we got the break, some time out with family and then we get back to putting in the work.
