Anshul Kamboj opened up after making his international debut in the fourth Test of the ongoing five-match series between England and India. His first 10 overs of his debut yielded 48 runs along with a wicket. Kamboj was honest in reviewing his performance and seemed determined to put on a better showing on the third day.
"I felt good after picking up my 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 tomorrow," shared Kamboj while speaking to Star Sports.
He also shed light on his and the Indian bowlers' gameplan as far as bowling on Day 3 was concerned.
"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. Tomorrow (July 25), we’ll look to bowl in good areas again and try to dismiss them as quickly as possible. The key will be to restrict boundaries because they seem more focused on hitting fours rather than taking singles," added Kamboj.
Kamboj revealed that he picked up a lot from the frontline pacers in the limited time he has spent with the team.
"I get to learn a lot from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj — 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," the debutant remarked.
India picked up only two wickets on the second day's play in the 46 overs they bowled to the hosts. Kamboj's wicket of Ben Duckett (94 off 100) was a big one. Ravindra Jadeja secured the wicket of Duckett's opening partner.
