Jamieson, who made his international debut last year, provided the initial impetus in the high-profile encounter. He returned with figures of 5/31 from 22 overs that set the tone in the Black Caps’ favour.
Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, a ‘humble’ Kyle Jamieson lauded the other bowlers for keeping up the pressure, which in turn reflected in his figures. Jamieson said:
The 26-year-old backed his five-wicket haul with another two wickets in the second essay to finish with seven scalps in the WTC final.
Jamieson, along with Tim Southee (4/48) and Trent Boult (3/39), cut short India’s stay in the middle on the reserve day of the Test to set up a target of 139 runs. Jamieson stated that the Black Caps executed their plans to perfection in the morning session, which paved the way for their victory.
Virat is a world-class player: Kyle Jamieson
Of the seven wickets, Kyle Jamieson will cherish the wickets of Indian skipper Virat Kohli. He removed the talismanic batsman in both innings of the final; thus stretching his century drought.
The Kiwi pacer highlighted that bowling against Kohli at the Royal Challengers Bangalore camp during the now-postponed IPL 2021 helped him come up with a plan.
