Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers on the day, picking up three crucial wickets including that of Aaron Willey, who looked dangerous, and Ben Foakes, who was unbeaten. His stellar bowling performance helped India secure a narrow six-run victory and the series stood at an exciting 2-2.

The fast bowler revealed how a change in angles and his variations helped him achieve success in the fourth game. He also admitted that he had promised himself to bounce back after a below-par performance in the previous game. He also highlighted that the team's morale was low after losing the game and they wanted to fightback and that showing intent was important. He took the wickets of Willey and Foakes, the two threats, and the latter was looking good so the crucial wicket kept the pressure on the hosts.

"When I bowled the first over, I didn't try anything different, but I felt the length was not good enough," he told host broadcaster SonyLiv. "So I wanted to change the angle and I varied my pace as well. When I came back for my second over, I tried to keep it tight and then I got the wicket of Willey. The ball was keeping slightly low, there was a bit of swing and we noticed that throughout the innings when we were batting."

"I promised myself last night that I'll come back nice and hard, try to contribute to the team's cause and try to take wickets for the team and be more aggressive in my mind. I was a bit frustrated with my performance in the last game," he added. "Everyone in the team was a bit disappointed with the result. We wanted to bounce back and show a lot more intent than we did in the last game."

England stood a chance till Bumrah took the crucial wicket of Willey and thereafter the run rate increased and eventually England fell short.
