St. John’s: After facing a 318 runs defeat at the hands of India, West Indies skipper Jason Holder on Monday praised the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah who bagged five wickets saying he bowled some magic balls in his spell.
“Today Bumrah bowled some magic balls and he got few of our batsmen with some very good balls. We have to find ways. He is a quality bowler but definitely, there is a solution out there,” Holder told reporters in a post-match conference. Apart from Bumrah, Holder also praised Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami as they supported Bumrah really well and scalped three and two wickets, respectively.
“They bowled well. Bumrah bowled an exceptional spell, Ishant was very supportive as well as Shami. I just want those spells where the opposition gets on the top and stays on the top. We have seen that happening in around the world,” Holder added. Holder admitted that the team fell short by few runs as they scored just 222 in the first innings while India scored 297 runs in their first inning.”We fell short quite a few runs.” (ANI)
