The Australian team management wished to hand Will Pucovski his maiden Test cap multiple times before. However, his concussion problems did not allow him to don the famous baggy green. The wait finally ended at the SCG.
As mentioned before, the right-handed batsman scored a fifty on his Test debut even though the dangerous Jasprit Bumrah bowled at him. During his recent appearance on Cheese Toasties, Pucovski revealed how he felt facing the Indian pacer.
Will Pucovski hit four fours in his first Test inning. However, he could not score a boundary off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling. But the youngster would be happy he did not lose his wicket to the premium Indian fast bowler.
Will Pucovski explains how he tackled Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has a different action, and tackling him in red-ball cricket is a challenging task. Will Pucovski recalled how the unique view in his PlayStation game helped him succeed against the Indian pacer.
Pucovski would play as Shane Watson in the Ashes game on his PlayStation. Although he had not played a Test in Sydney before, his experience of playing the video game surprisingly helped him achieve success at the SCG.
After a fine first innings knock in Sydney, Will Pucovski flattered to deceive in the second, as he managed just 10 off 16 balls before getting dismissed by Mohammed Siraj.
