Bumrah also won the Player of the Match award as he picked up two wickets for 24 runs in four overs. Speaking of the match, while batting first, Ireland scored 139 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. In reply, India scored 47 runs for two wickets in 6.5 overs as the game got called off due to rain. Thus, by the DLS method, they were declared the winner by just two runs.   

“In every game you want more and you always search for a perfect game.” - Jasprit Bumrah

During the post-match presentation, Bumrah was asked about his experience of making a comeback after a long time. He said: "Felt very good. So many sessions I did at the NCA and the practice games. Didn't feel like I missed out a lot or I'm doing something new so credit to the staff there. Very happy to be back and always good to contribute. Not really, when you're captaining you are thinking more about the whole team and not just your own performance. Very happy that the weather was helpful for the bowlers.”

“In every game you want more and you always search for a perfect game. Credit to them as well for keeping their nerves in a crisis. Everybody has a lot of belief in their game and I think the IPL also helps them. The bunch that we have is very confident and that's a good sign for our team. It's always good wherever we go we get a lot of support," he further added. Listening to such statements, fans shared their views on social media.
