BGT 2024-25: Bumrah Says Team Is 'not Carrying Any Baggage' From Home Series Loss To NZ
The Boxing Day Test: Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has stated that the Indian team will go with full confidence against Australia in Perth and are not carrying any baggage of last month's home series loss against New Zealand.
As India prepares to face Australia, their recent struggles in the New Zealand series add to the complexities. The team suffered a 3-0 clean sweep at the hands of the Kiwis, capped by a 25-run loss at the Wankhede Stadium. It marked India’s first clean sweep defeat in a home Test series since 2000 and their first in a series of three or more matches.
India enters the five-match series with a clear objective: to win four matches and secure their third consecutive WTC Final appearance. "When you win, you start from zero, but when you lose, you also start from zero. We are not carrying any baggage from India. Yes, we have our learnings from the New Zealand series, but those were different conditions, and our results here have been different," said Bumrah in a pre-match press conference.
