India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah said he takes pleasure in doing the tough job for the team after the T20 World Cup heroics. Bumrah has delivered despite bowling the toughest overs, as he has been right on the money for the team.

Bumrah returned with impressive figures of 4-15 in his quota of four overs and was awarded Player of the Match after India registered a comprehensive 96-run win over the Kiwis in the final of the T20 World Cup.

The ace fast bowler took 14 wickets in the tournament at an average of 12.43 and a splendid economy rate of 6.21, which was the best for any bowler. India’s pack leader was able to outfox the New Zealand batters with his slower deliveries in the summit clash at Ahmedabad.

“I always wanted to do a tough job. I’ve played cricket for that. I started cricket for that. When I’m able to make a difference, that gives me so much joy. No better feeling than that. I started my cricket here. I played all my cricket here come up the ranks through playing for Gujarat over here and winning the World Cup here, winning, being Man of the Match,” Bumrah said in the video by the BCCI.

Bumrah shared his delight that the team was able to cross the last hurdle, which they could not do so at the same venue against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup.

“The last time we just fell short, this time we went over it. Really happy. My son came. He was there last time as well; this time, he was there. My mum came really special. I don’t know about full circles, but really, really happy back-to-back World Cups never really happen. Really grateful God is really kind, and I couldn’t be more thankful,” the Indian seamer concluded.

Bumrah will next play for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026
