He said, ‘I definitely did not bowl at the length I wanted to do. It took me some time to reconcile with the right length. However, I should be able to do so as a professional. I take full responsibility for this and maybe next time I can do it better. ‘
The famous innings conceded 128 runs from an economy of 6.40 in 20 overs in the first innings, one of the worst figures by an Indian bowler who bowled at least 20 overs in an innings. He took the wickets of Oli Pope, Harry Brooke and Jamie Smith during this period.

The famous said, ‘Whenever I come for bowling, I try to put a maiden over. I really want to avoid giving batsmen a chance to easily score runs. The outfield of that ground was fast. To be honest, the length and direction in which I bowled was not right most of the time. There were some of these runs which came from the outer or internal edge of the bat. ,
He said, ‘I tried to put a bouncer several times but scored runs on it. I definitely try to put pressure on the run speed when I come to bowl. There was strong wind in the headingley (Leeds) and it made the work of bowlers and fielders difficult.
