“Pleasing to dismiss Virat Kohli,” says RCB teammate Kyle Jamieson

 

Kyle Jamieson has got off to a fantastic start in his international red-ball career. In only 15 Test innings, the lanky Kiwi bowler has picked up five fifers! His latest success arrived in the final of the World Test Championship against India.

Jamieson threatened and terrorized the Indian batsmen with his pace and bounce all game. He bowled as many as 12 maiden overs in the innings! The Kiwi bowler also picked up important wickets in Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant but it is the prized wicket of his RCB captain Virat Kohli that he cherishes the most.

Talking to the media after his Day 3 exploits, Kyle Jamieson admitted that it was pleasing to pick up the wicket of a ‘world-class batter’ like Virat Kohli. “Well, not really. I think he’s a world-class batter, and those guys don’t tend to have too many chinks in their armour.

Certainly pleasing to get him. Like I said before, he’s obviously a massive part of their lineup, and to get him early certainly set things up nicely for us. Just was pleasing in terms of for myself being able to try to wobble the ball and try and keep him in check a little bit and to get that wicket was pleasing and just a great start for our game,” said Jamieson while replying to an ANI query during a virtual press conference.

Talking about Kohli’s wicket, Jamieson said: “Oh, I guess, yeah, maybe there’s some sort of pattern. I don’t necessarily know if we talk about it a huge amount. I think the one that I was able to get with him today certainly seamed back a little bit, and those are pretty hard to control as a bowler and pretty hard to manage as a batter no matter who you are, so I don’t think it’s necessarily just for him.”

The RCB bowler also mentioned that the key to moving forward will be trying to build on that bowling performance and says that the bowling unit is ready to take on any challenge presented to them.

“I think as a bowling unit we’ll take whatever we can get really. Yeah, we’ve seen that it’s not easy. It’s not easy batting conditions, and with the class of this Indian bowling lineup, we know that it’s going to be tough,” Jamieson concluded.
