“One bowler I am looking forward to facing the most in the nets is Bumrah. I know it sounds strange because he is one of the best in the world but I believe it will be great to test myself against him. I am sure it is going to be hard work,” the official website of Mumbai Indians quoted David as saying.
“I am excited to get in and be a part of the MI squad. I think it is great to be picked up by such a successful team, I have heard good things about how MI looks after their players and it has a great fan base. There is always the pressure to perform and you want to help the team win but the overall feeling is one of excitement,” he added.
When asked about batting alongside Kieron Pollard, David said: “It is an exciting idea to bat with him. Polly is someone I have admired for his power hitting and have looked at some of his innings to see how I can do that myself. If we could get going in the middle and death overs, we could take a few games away.”
