NEWCOMER KYLE JAMIESON REVEALS PLAN BEHIND PICKING 3 WICKETS INCLUDING VIRAT KOHLI!

New Zealand debutant Kyle Jamieson have all the reasons to be on cloudnine after a sensational Test match against India today in Wellington.

The 25-year-old dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara and India skipper Virat Kohli in successive overs for 11 and 2 runs respectively before going on to dismiss Hanuma Vihari.

Speaking to the media after the first day play, Jamieson said short balls and his height are his advantages.

"The feeling has not sunk in yet. I am feeling very pleased with my performance on day one. This wicket does assess bowlers, it was all about putting the ball in the right areas. I tried to keep things pretty simple, I was trying to make the Indian batters play the ball," Jamieson said.

"I think, the wicket holds the pace and bounce for a couple of days. It will help us tomorrow as well. Look, Virat has scored runs all around the world, the wicket assisted us, he is so strong on the stump line, I managed to get his edge and it was good."

"I think my short balls are a major weapon, as I bowl them with great height. Test cricket has always been the pinnacle for me, getting the cap was special. As most Kiwi kids, I grew up watching Glenn Mcgrath. As with any cricketer, you watch the best players going around. I have always admired him," he added.
