Jasprit Bumrah reveals strategy

India inched closer to a series sweep on day three by setting West Indies a massive target of 468 runs. In reply hosts ended day on 45 for 2. Asked about India's strategy, Bumrah said plan was to create pressure in first innings. "You have to assess wicket, what are conditions, what works here. Here wicket has a lot more bounce. In such bouncy wickets you can become greedy and bowl short but you shouldn't do that. You should look to bowl in good areas and create pressure and try and bowl full. That was plan going into first innings," he said.  25-year-old pacer said he is always focussed on contributing to team's cause. "I always look at team goals, if we win match and I don't have any wickets it's fine. My aim is to contribute to team's success, be it by taking wickets or creating pressure," Bumrah said.
