Jasprit Bumrah described winning the Player of the Match award in the T20 World Cup 2026 final at Ahmedabad as an “extremely special” moment after leading India to a 96-run victory over New Zealand.
Defending a huge total of 255/5, the ace pacer delivered a brilliant spell of 4-15, using his slower balls cleverly on a flat pitch. Bumrah said experience helped him read the conditions and plan his variations effectively. Playing in front of his home fans made the achievement even more memorable after losing a previous final at the same venue.
The fast bowler added that India stayed calm throughout the tournament and credited the passionate crowd support for inspiring the team to defend their title.
