Jasprit Bumrah responded to a one-day international career-best haul that set-up India's 10-wicket thrashing of world champions England by saying "I have bowled so much better than this and not got wickets".
Bumrah took 6-19, including an opening spell of 4-9 in five overs that routed a proven top order, as England were skittled out for just 110 in 25.2 overs at the Oval on Tuesday.
India then sprinted to their target, with captain Rohit Sharma unbeaten on 76 as his side won with more than 31 overs to spare to go 1-0 up in a three-match series that continues on the other side of London's River Thames, at Lord's, on Thursday.
Bumrah, 28, may have been assisted by overcast conditions and a well-grassed pitch after Rohit won a good toss, but there was no denying his skill as he surpassed his previous best return in 71 ODIs of 5-27 against Sri Lanka at Pallekele in 2017.
"I don't look at end results and judge my bowling," Bumrah told reporters after a day/night match that ended so quickly there was no need for the floodlights to be switched on.
"There have been instances where I have bowled so much better than this and not got wickets."
