Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj bowled well
After this, Babar also praised the Indian bowlers. He said- Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj bowled well in the first 10 overs with swing on both sides, but our batting was not as expected. Yes, we lost wickets continuously and could not build partnerships. Because of this we had to face defeat.
