Bumrah looking to enjoy the game rather than result

Jasprit Bumrah

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is looking to keep things simple for the T20 World Cup and wants to focus on enjoying the game rather than the result.

Bumrah missed the last edition of the tournament due to his recurring back injury, but this time he is prepared to showcase his lethal bowling prowess in the T20 showpiece. The pacer returned to action in August last year on the Ireland tour and went on to exhibit his class in the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. "Since I have come back from my injury, I have only focused on enjoying the game as much as I can," Bumrah added, trying to focus on the process rather than the uncertainty surrounding the game.

"Because [certain] things will go my way. [Certain] things will not go my way. All of these things will be a part of my process. So I have just realised that I started playing this sport. Because I love this sport.

"And I will focus on that rather than the end result. So in that aspect, you reduce your pressure. And you enjoy the sport. When you focus on those things. Rather than the things you cannot control," ICC quoted the pacer as saying.
