I could have got him out 6-7 times but… Jasprit Bumrah broke his silence on Sam Constus, and said this after getting hit for six
Jasprit Bumrah has broken his silence on Australian batting sensation Sam Constas. He has given his reaction on Constas' stormy innings and getting hit for sixes by him. On the first day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Constas played an innings of 60 runs. He hit 2 sixes against Bumrah. Bumrah was questioned on the third day of the game regarding this. He was asked whether he was having trouble bowling against this 19-year-old young opener. On this, Bumrah has given a strong answer to the Australian media.
What did Bumrah say about Constus?
Jasprit Bumrah spoke to Australian Channel 7 Cricket on the third day of the game. During this, when he was asked whether Constus had troubled him and was having difficulty bowling, Bumrah immediately gave a befitting reply. He said, 'I have a lot of experience in T20. I have been playing this format for the last 12 years and have faced many interesting batsmen. I felt that I was always game. It never felt that I was far from taking his wicket. In fact, I could have dismissed him 6-7 times in the first two overs. But you know cricket is like this. Some days you are successful and some days you are not. I like different challenges and I am always looking for it.'

Jasprit Bumrah has been very lethal on this tour of Australia. He is the bowler who has taken the most wickets in the series so far. When asked about his performance, 'Do you think that you have never bowled like this before?' To this, he replied, 'I do not look at things like this. Yes, I am feeling good and the results have been in my favor. But I have bowled well in different places before as well. This is how it happens in cricket, sometimes your execution is not good, and yet you get success. At the same time, sometimes you do not get success even after doing everything right.'
