One of the most recent examples of Bumrah showcasing his prowess to the cricketing world was during the T20 World Cup 2024. During the match between the arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, having needed to bat first, the "Men in Blue" skittled for 119 runs. Nothing was going right in the favour of Team India. The "Green Shirts" almost pulled the game away from the Indians and that`s when skipper Rohit Sharma decided the bring in his most reliable bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. Pakistan`s opening batsman Mohammad Rizwan was well-settled in the middle and it seemed like the right-hander would easily take his team home. In the crucial circumstances, with Rizwan batting on 31 runs, Bumrah snapped the wicket of the right-hander bringing the Indians back in the game. Along with Rizwan, the lead Indian pacer also accounted for the wickets of opposition captain Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed.
