Anshul Kamboj on maiden international wicket: “Still not fully satisfied with my bowling”

India pacer Anshul Kamboj reflected on taking his maiden international wicket, saying he was not fully satisfied with his bowling and aimed to improve. He also credited senior players Bumrah and Siraj for helping him adapt to Test conditions.

Hyderabad: India bowler Anshul Kamboj said he felt good after picking up his maiden wicket in international cricket.

“I was focused on hitting the right areas — that was my plan from the start. Some deliveries landed well, some didn’t. Honestly, I’m still not fully satisfied with my bowling. I’ll look to improve and do better,” Kamboj said in a chat with Jio hotstar on the second day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Thursday.

“I tried to put in more effort during my first two spells. In the third spell, I focused on backing my strengths and sticking to my areas. We’ll look to bowl in good areas again and try to dismiss them as quickly as possible,” he said.

“The key will be to restrict boundaries because they seem more focused on hitting fours rather than taking singles,” he said.

On learning from senior pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, Kamboj said he got to learn a lot from observing what they do in different situations and understanding what needs to be done.

“We constantly talk to each other, and it’s all about adapting according to the conditions and the match scenario,” he said.
