"It's sometimes difficult to pick a XI because all of them are confident and all of them play well in the nets
As a captain, I couldn't ask anything more
All of us had the same dream to play for India and I don't think too much about expectations
If you play with that baggage, you're under pressure
You have to learn to manage the expectations and keep it on the side," Bumrah said during the post-match presentation.Bumrah, who himself is
making a comeback to international cricket with this series after a long 11-month injury layoff, reiterated that he is feeling good and is
happy to be back."Feeling good
Today, I could run in and bowl a little faster
We wanted to put runs on the board and we thought the pitch would get slower
Happy to be back and couldn't have asked for anything more," Bumrah added.Young India batter Rinku Singh announced his arrival at the
international stage with a breathtaking knock of 38 off 21 balls in the match
The left-hander smoked three maximums and two fours while scoring his runs at a strike rate of 180.95

"I was confident and trying to use the IPL experience
Was trying to take the game deep
Been playing cricket for ten years and getting rewarded for the hard work
Happy to get the Man-of-the-Match award in the first game I've batted in international cricket," Rinku said.
