On Thursday (October 3), Bumrah shared a post from his training session, captioning it:
“Weathered the challenge. Onto the next one.”

“Hello, No. 1.”

Jasprit Bumrah won the Player of the Tournament award in the 2024 T20 World Cup
Jasprit Bumrah has been a key bowler for the Indian team for some time, and he showcased his exceptional skills earlier this year in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The 30-year-old claimed 15 wickets in eight matches, boasting an impressive average of 8.26 and an outstanding economy rate of 4.17. His performances earned him the Player of the Tournament award.
In the final, while defending a target of 177, Bumrah excelled by conceding only 18 runs in his four overs. He also took two crucial wickets—Reeza Hendricks and Marco Jansen—as the Men in Blue triumphed over South Africa by seven runs. They secured their second T20 World Cup title and ended an 11-year drought for an ICC trophy.
The speedster is ranked 21st in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings and eighth in ODIs. Bumrah will next be seen in action when India takes on New Zealand in a three-match Test series, starting October 16 in Bengaluru.
