Bumrah returned with the magical figures of 5/7 to become the first-ever bowler from the sub-continent to grab a five-wicket haul in South Africa, England, Australia and West Indies. He has done this marvel in his first tour to all these countries.
His stats turned out to be the cheapest five-for by an India bowler.
Bumrah tormented the Windies batsmen with his deadly in-dippers as they did not stand a chance in front of him and looked like amateurs in white flannels.
“Feeling good and we built pressure as a bowling unit which was nice. We used the breeze to our advantage and stuck to our plans. Lot of hard-work and practice goes into that (about bowling the out-swinger).
“I always had the inswinger but the more I played the more confident I got,” the pacer said at the post-match presentation.
“Playing with the Dukes ball in England helped me a lot, too. It has helped my confidence. Always trying to evolve as a bowler and always trying to do new things and when the ball is not swinging maybe try and use the seam to get the movement,” he added.
India will now take on the hosts in the second and final Test at the Sabina Park in Kingston from Friday.
