Today was a little drier.

We thought it would get slower and hence batted first.

It is very pleasing.

It is tough to pick an XI.

Great headache to have.

Everyone is eager.

Everyone is confident.

All of us wanted to play for India.

Eventually, everyone has to work their way up" Bumrah said after the match."If you play with a baggage of expectation, you are under pressure.

You have to keep those expectations aside.

You are not doing yourself 100 percent justice if you are playing with so many expectations," he said.
