‘Noise outside doesn’t affect me,’ says Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah, who picked his maiden fifer in the IPL, said he is content with his cadence in the ongoing season and the “noise outside” doesn’t affect him.

Amid the five-wicket haul, Bumrah has taken just 10 wickets in this IPL season from 11 matches.

“Look we prepare for the tournament and we have our process, we don’t look at the end result. If you understand the game, you have to really observe what’s going on, what is the game like, what situation you are bowling like, and for me personally I was very happy with the rhythm going on throughout the tournament.”

Bumrah bowled extraordinarily well to limit KKR to 165 for 9, yet the MI batters floundered as the team experienced its 10th loss in eleven games.

“I know there is a lot of noise outside that goes on but it doesn’t really affect me. Because I am not a person who judges my performance on what others think or what the experts are saying or whatever people want to say,” he said.

Bumrah hasn’t had the option to pick wickets reliably this season yet the pacer said the manner in which he adds to the team is more important for him.

“I look at my personal evaluation is very important, I look at the processes that I have to follow and I look at the end result on how I can contribute to the team, by sometimes bowling a good over and however I can help the team.”
