WISH TEAM INDIA ON WINNING T20 WORLD CUP
A video is now going viral where Bumrah is talking to his wife and anchor
Sanjana Ganesan
, who is representing ICC Digital.
The video starts with Sanjana congratulating Bumrah for becoming the MVP of the tournament.
Bumrah replies, "It's not really sinking because midway through the innings we were confident then we were a little nervous but I'm really happy to get a win like this, it has been a great tournament. Angad (son) is also here. He's seen his father win the World Cup, there's no better feeling, to contribute in a tournament like this, there's no better feeling than that."
Sanjana then asks Bumrah to share a word on India's campaign and how amazing it's been to play with this group of players.
Bumrah replies, "Absolutely exceptional. All praises come short, the way we played, how we held our calm, stuck to expectations and even in the last stage when it seemed a little bleak, we did not panic, so words fall short."
Sanjana asked about his thoughts of bowling with
Arshdeep Singh
and
Hardik Pandya
and Bumrah replies, "It's been really good, all of them are so confident and the variety that they bring and the confidence that they have to execute it on the big stage, that's brilliant to see and there's no better feeling than this."
Bumrah ends the conversation by giving Sanjana a hug that leaves her blushing.
