‘Batters often take more risks against me’

'And when someone like Bumrah is bowling from the other end, batters often take more risks against me, that gives me wicket-taking opportunities. I just try to enjoy my bowling and keep my plans simple," he said at the post-match presentation. 

"No matter the situation - powerplay or death - I just focus on execution and stick to what I’ve practised," he added. 

Claiming that he is putting in the hard yards, Arshdeep admitted that it feels great to contribute when presented with an opportunity.

"I’ve just been working on my process, trusting my skills, and executing the plans I’ve practised. It feels great to contribute when I get the chance," he added further.
