The Indian cricket team skipper Suryakumar Yadav came in support of Jasprit Bumrah, who had a rough match against Pakistan in the Super 4. On September 21, Sunday, Bumrah had a bat outing where he gave around 45 runs without taking a single wicket. This is one of the tough days where he struggled to find his rhythm and gave too many runs. However, the captain backed him at that point, stating that everyone is allowed to have a bad day sometimes and believing that he will bounce back soon after this performance.
In the post-match presentation he said,
"The way the boys are stepping up in every game, it's making my job very easy. The boys showed a lot of character. They were calm after the first 10 overs (of India's bowling innings). After drinks, I told them the game starts now. That's fine; he's not a robot, he will have a bad day someday (talking about Bumrah). Dube bailed us out of the situation. They complement each other really well (Abhishek and Gill). It's like a fire and ice combination. After the first innings, our fielding coach, T. Dilip, emailed all players who had butterfingers today."
Meanwhile, the Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha stated that 172 was a good target, but Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill made it look easy for the Indian team to win the game, which took the game away from them.
He said,
"We are yet to play a perfect game, but we are getting there. A great game, but in the power play they took the game away from us. Looking back at the position we were in after 10 overs, we could have gotten 10-15 more. 170-180 is a good total, but in the powerplay they batted well; that was the difference. If you see the bowlers are going for runs, you need to change it; that's how it goes in T20s. There are a lot of positives—the way Fakhar batted, Farhan batted, and Harry bowled. Looking forward to the next game against Sri Lanka."
