Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged Player of the Tournament for his tally of 15 wickets, emerging as the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament. Time and again, even beyond this tournament, Bumrah has bailed the Indian cricket team out of trouble. Be it his performance against Pakistan or his magical spell against South Africa in the showdown, Jasprit stood out for his team in the World Cup 2024.
Jasprit’s performance was aptly summed up by Virat Kohli during India’s victory celebration event on Thursday. Speaking about the same, Kohli said:
“Like everyone in the stadium here, we also felt at one point if it is going to slip away again, but what happened in those last five overs was truly, truly special. You know what I’d like everyone to do is applaud a guy who brought us back into games again and again and again in this tournament. What he did in those last five overs, bowling two out of the last five overs, it was phenomenal. A huge round of applause for Jasprit Bumrah, please. We are lucky that he plays for us.”
Reacting to Kohli’s words, Jasprit Bumrah shared the same audio byte with an emotional video on his official social media handle. The video showed India’s bus parade and celebration inside the Wankhede. He wrote:
“I am so thankful for the last few days. I’ve been living a dream and it has filled me with happiness and gratitude.”
