India's in-form pacer Jasprit Bumrah says he focuses more on executing his plans than thinking too much about the batsman's mindset.

Bumrah said he is always focussed on getting his plans right.

"International cricket is international cricket (whether it is Zimbabwe or any other team). The days are going good for us, we are getting the results. We are looking to keep on improving," said Bumrah, following India's 3-0 whitewash of Zimbabwe in the ODI series.

The 22-year-old ended up as the highest wicket-taker in the short series with nine scalps including a couple of four-wicket hauls.

Talking about his mindset while bowling, he said: "What I try to do, sometimes it doesn't come off. But I try it again rather than thinking about the batsman's mindset.

"If I am not able to execute my plans, then I feel I am not up to the mark and there has been a mistake on my part. Then I try to keep a cool head and try to do it all over again," said the bowler with a distinct action. He feels he will only get better with more international experience. 

"Earlier, I only used to get the ball into right handers. Over the years, I have developed some variations, thanks to first class cricket and IPL," Bumrah added.
