“What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba”
Bumrah replied,
“It is an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That’s another story”
