For that I played cricket. For that I started playing cricket. It brings me a lot of happiness when I am able to make a difference. There is no better feeling than this,” Bumrah said.
The right-arm fastman created the winning chances in the final against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, taking four wickets to bowl out his opponents and collect the Man of the Match award to help India register a 96-run win.With this victory, the Indian team made history by becoming the first team to win three T20 World Cup titles, the first team to successfully defend the title, and the first team to win the championship trophy on home soil.For Bumrah, the moment took on a deeper emotional significance. The venue also reminded him of the heartbreaking scenes of the 2023 Cricket World Cup final in Ahmedabad, when India fell just short of the title.“Last time we just fell short and this time we overcame it. Really happy,” he said.The 32-year-old also revealed that the arrival of his family made the moment even more special.“My son is here, he was here last time and he is here this time. My mom came – it was really special. I don’t know what the full circle is, but really, really happy. “Bumrah is the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps along with mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy.“Back-to-back World Cups never really happen. Really grateful, God has been really kind and I’m very grateful,” Bumrah added.
