After winning the Man of the Match award, Jack Fraser McGurk was asked about batting against Bumrah and he said, “Definitely against Bumrah I batted under pressure. I was watching videos of Bumrah’s bowling the whole day. But in a match everything goes beyond this and you have to play by looking at the ball. It’s good to test yourself against the best bowlers in the world. We always have to face ups and downs. Such innings are important for my confidence and my team. From the outside looking in, it is difficult to imagine at what level this tournament is played. The IPL is huge compared to other leagues and it is a huge thing to be a part of it.”
