The
Indian
team
has
missed
the
services
of
the
senior
pacer
and
their
death
over
worries
will
be
addressed
once
Bumrah
returns
to
the
side.
The
pacer,
who
had
been
out
due
to
injury,
went
through
rehabilitation
at
the
National
Cricket
Academy
(NCA)
and
was
picked
for
the
Australia
series
and
the
upcoming
edition
of
the
T20
World
Cup.

Giving
an
update
about
Bumrah’s
availability,
Suryakumar
said,
“Bumrah
is
fit
and
ready
to
play
in
the
second
match.”

Meanwhile,
talking
about
India’s
bowling,
which
let
the
hosts
down
during
the
first
match
in
Mohali,
Sky
said
the
team
hadn’t
had
a
discussion
on
the
bowling
yet,
but
credit
to
the
visiting
Australian
side,
who
batted
beautifully.

“We
have
not
sat
down
to
discuss
the
bowling
performance
genuinely
but
as
you
saw
in
the
last
game,
the
match
went
to
the
last
over
and
there
was
a
lot
of
dew.
The
Aussies
also
batted
beautifully,
credit
to
them.
We
are
trying
our
best,”
said
Yadav
on
Thursday.

Backing
the
bowlers,
the
flamboyant
batsman
said,
“Bhuvi
(Bhuvneshwar
Kumar)
and
Harshal’s
(Patel)
slower
balls
are
still
deceptive
and
very
difficult
to
get.
Harshal
has
just
returned
from
the
injury,
let
us
cut
him
some
slack.”

Talking
about
his
own
batting,
Yadav,
who
played
a
blistering
46
off
25,
said,
“I
have
a
very
flexible
batting,
I
plan
for
every
situation.
Preparations
have
been
very
good.
Everyone
is
performing
their
role
very
good
and
whenever
I
come
in
to
bat,
I
perform
my
role.”

There
have
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
Indian
team’s
attacking
approach
and
backing
the
team,
the
attacking
batsman
said,
“Assessing
the
pitch
is
very
important.
Everyone
knows
their
responsibility
and
roles
in
the
team.
Openers
know
their
role.
After
the
openers,
the
middle
order
knows
its
role.
Everything
is
going
well.
We
will
try
to
do
the
same
thing
again.”

Captain
Rohit
Sharma’s
animated
gestures
caught
everyone’s
attention.
Speaking
about
the
skipper,
Yadav
said,
that
such
incidents
were
necessary
to
keep
the
pressure
off.
“On
the
field,
there
is
a
lot
of
pressure,
hence
to
normalize
the
situation
a
bit
of
laughter
is
required.
Such
banter
is
necessary,”
signed
off
Yadav.
