Match-winning show in the final

Notably, Bumrah’s performance in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa was crucial to India’s victory. When South Africa needed just 30 runs off the last 30 deliveries, the right-arm pacer delivered an exceptional spell, conceding only six runs in his final two overs and taking the vital wicket of Marco Jansen. His efforts helped India secure a thrilling seven-run victory, clinching their second T20 World Cup title. Bumrah finished the tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker, with 15 wickets from eight innings at an average of 8.46 and an economy rate of 4.17.
