Celebrations are sweeping across India following the country’s triumph at the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue clinched the title by defeating South Africa in the final match, achieving their first T20 World Cup victory since 2007.
The Indian team had numerous standout players who contributed to their success throughout the tournament. Among them, Jasprit Bumrah emerged as a key performer. Recognized as one of the premier bowlers in international cricket, Bumrah consistently demonstrated his skill and played a crucial role in India’s victory over South Africa. His performance in the final was instrumental in securing the win.
A touching tribute to Bumrah has been gaining traction on X (formerly Twitter), posted by senior journalist Deepal Trivedi. In her heartfelt message, Deepal reminisced about holding a frail baby Bumrah and reflected on her close relationship with his family. She recounted witnessing his growth and development over the years.
Deepali Trivedi wrote: “Think of Jasprit Bumrah. His struggles. And how God has helped him. God will help all of us, but first we have to help ourselves. Please join me in congratulating my baby, Jasprit Bumrah. For World Cup victory,”
My cricket knowledge is Zero. I know Virat Kohli as Anushka's husband. He is so pleasant and I like when he tries to dance.

The final match saw South Africa attempting to chase down a target of 177 runs. At one point, the game was finely balanced, with Heinrich Klaasen’s efforts bringing the equation to one run per ball. However, the game’s momentum shifted dramatically when Bumrah was given the ball for the 18th over. His dismissal of Marco Jansen applied significant pressure on the South African team, ultimately paving the way for India’s victory.
This win not only marked a historic moment for Indian cricket but also highlighted Bumrah’s crucial contributions and his journey from a delicate infant to a world-class cricketer.
