I had seen the legends of the game. Waqar, Wasim and even Zaheer Khan. We're going through a transition so I feel it's my responsibility to help them in any way I can. We discuss certain things. I have been playing with him for a long period of time (Rohit). No, not really (competition with Jimmy?). As a cricketer, I'm a fast bowling fan. If somebody's doing well, kudos to them. I look at the situation at the wicket and think about my options. I should not be a one-trick pony," Bumrah said.
