I feel fantastic. As a child, I witnessed my heroes get this prestigious honor, so I’m thrilled to be on the “receiving end.” Winning the T20 World Cup was truly an unforgettable experience, and I will always cherish the memories we created together. Accordingly, I will always predict that we will win the T20 World Cup first,” Bumrah told the reporters.
Honors from the game’s legends are a great feeling, but I usually take things with a grain of salt. Despite my happiness at the honor, I try not to get ahead of myself. I’ve got my feet planted, and I’m thrilled with the recognition I receive,” he continued.
