Jasprit Bumrah was keen to share the plaudits with the rest of the attack, even though he was the undoubted star of the bowling show during India바카라s seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka.

The 25-year-old from Ahmedabad joined New Zealand바카라s Lockie Ferguson, Pakistan바카라s Mohammad Amir and England바카라s Jofra Archer in third place with 17 wickets on the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 list after claiming 3/37 from his 10 overs against Sri Lanka at Headingley.

However, Bumrah was at pains to point out that it was a complete team effort that helped restrict Dimuth Karunaratne바카라s side to 264/7 after they had elected to bat first in their final group-stage game of the campaign.

바카라Everybody바카라s taking a lot of responsibility so that바카라s very good,바카라 said Bumrah.  바카라When you have extra responsibility, then you try even harder and your execution is good, so that바카라s a very good sign for us.

바카라In most of our World Cup games we바카라ve only had five bowlers that are bowling and it바카라s been going like this throughout. Everybody바카라s had a good run here. It바카라s been a good campaign for us, everybody바카라s chipped in with wickets, and with the bat also, so it바카라s been a case of so far, so good.바카라

Bumrah gave an equally understated response when he was asked how it felt to be receiving heaps of praise as the linchpin of India바카라s attack in his first World Cup.

바카라I don바카라t take praise or criticism seriously,바카라 said the paceman after centuries from Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul helped India cruise to their target with 39 balls to spare. 바카라The only focus for me is on my preparation, my execution and what I can do for the team. 

바카라I always focus on all that and as far as the bowling unit is concerned we are very happy that everyone is among the wickets and everyone is contributing. 

바카라You see Hardik Pandya taking wickets, you see Mohammed Shami taking wickets and I바카라ve also taken wickets, so that바카라s the positive for us going forward.

바카라Everybody바카라s had a good run here. It바카라s been a good campaign for us, everybody has chipped in with wickets and with the bat,바카라 said Bumrah after becoming the second-fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets in one-day internationals.

바카라There바카라s a healthy competition. It바카라s a good headache to have when everyone바카라s performing and everyone바카라s in good nick and that바카라s something you love to have going into a crucial game like next week바카라s semi-final.바카라
