It's important that we don't overplay Bumrah factor, says Finch

Australian captain Aaron Finch on Friday said it is important for his team to not "overplay" the Jasprit Bumrah factor as the ambitious visitors gear up to face India in a three-match ODI series.

While according India's lead pacer the respect he deserves, Finch said it's important for his team to focus on its own strengths.

"I think, the more the guys face him, the more exposure you get, the more you start to understand how he bowls. So, it is important that we don't overplay that too much," Finch said during a media interaction here.

Opening the innings with the dashing David Warner, Finch will be facing Bumrah first up.

"He is obviously a fantastic bowler and someone who, when you are not playing against him, you love watching him bowl. He is fast and aggressive and his execution is pretty spot on."
"... For him to be averaging 40 in domestic cricket is brilliant, and hopefully, he can bring that from the Test series. He takes enough time to refresh and recharge his batteries, because playing here can be tough."
"We have seen that this in these conditions. When you perform consistently, it's about your top three or four batters going out there and getting big scores."
"Once you get behind, you don't give up, you keep chipping in one game at a time and try to get back bit by bit. And you start that by sticking to the basics."
"Most teams in the world are now very comfortable playing at home. For us, to go away and continue to win and challenge the best teams in the world on a regular basis is really important."
