Back to his incisive best, Jasprit Bumrah on Friday brushed aside the chatter around his workload management insisting that he "tries to take care of his body" and said those "questions were not my questions”.

On a dry pitch that prompted India to pick four spinners for the first time since 2012, it was Bumrah who grabbed 5/27, his only third fifer at home, and 16th overall, as South Africa folded for 159 in just 55 overs on the opening day.
