Bhuvneshwar Kumar has witnessed Jasprit Bumrah evolve into a potent weapon for India and said that the Gujarat bowler has worked a lot on his action, which is paying dividends. Asked what is the secret of Bumrah's success, Bhuvneshwar replied: "Bumrah has a different action, which creates problems for the batsmen.

He has improved a lot of things with his action. He had these yorkers and slower ones earlier as well but he has improved a lot." Bhuvneshwar said that he has confidence in Bumrah that he can bowl well at the death. "When you bowl with Bumrah, you have confidence that if you need to save runs later (at the death), if you bowl well, he will also do it with me." India's new ball pair also communicate a lot and discuss strategies. "Another good thing is that when the match begins, we talk to each other about the track, what strategy we can make.

"It's of great help for both the bowlers," he added. He also said that despite losing the second T20 by 40 runs at Rajkot, the team was not missing a specialist fifth bowler. "You cannot blame bowlers for the loss. The other team is there to play as well. We have played good cricket against Australia and even when we toured the West Indies. The three-match series are very small and if you lose the first game and then tie it 1-1, you have to play a decider," he said.
