I’m just really over the moon,” said Bumrah.
Dedication to Family and Fans
Bumrah also dedicated his performance to his family and fans. “My son is here, my family is here, and I could do something special for India.

You play the sport for this, for these days, for big stages when you do well and get your team through, there’s no better feeling,” he added.
