It’s almost time for the eagerly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The two Asian powerhouses will square off on Saturday, October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams have started preparing for the crucial match, and several players from each side will be expected to lead their teams to victory.
Being the head of the pace attack, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be one of the crucial players for India going into the game. He recently took up four wickets against Afghanistan, and he’ll be hoping to repeat that feat against Pakistan. The Indian speedster discussed his game plan for the big match between the arch-rivals ahead of it, adding that he only concentrates on his preparation and doesn’t bother about outside circumstances.
“I simply follow my preparation; I follow the method that I believe is appropriate to read the wickets and attempt to find the best solutions that are applicable to those wickets. Simply said, I’m not considering the outcomes. Therefore, I like the tasks I have to complete that day, I consider my preparations, and I act a little coldly.
Since I don’t know what’s happening in the world, I only focused on my obligations for that specific day. Naturally, reading the game and playing to my strengths is what has worked for me in the past as well. Keeping all of those things in mind, Jasprit Bumrah stated on the Star Sports program Follow the Blues.
The batsman, who was born in Ahmedabad, went on to express his delight about playing in front of his local audience.
The environment will be exciting: Jasprit Bumrah
“Yes, playing at home certainly means I haven’t played a One-Day International there, but I have in a test match. Consequently, the environment will be thrilling. The match will be a sight to behold since I have no doubt that many people will attend. So, sure, I’m also praying for the best over there,” he continued.
Notably, India missed Jasprit Bumrah greatly in the finals of the World Test Championship in 2023 and the T20 World Cup in 2022. As a result, the fast bowler will be motivated to provide an outstanding performance in the upcoming match in order to have an impact on the game.
