• Coach Gautam Gambhir's strategic call to use Jasprit Bumrah for a second powerplay over against New Zealand proved crucial, increasing the asking rate.
• Jasprit Bumrah delivered a sensational 4-15 in the final, consistently providing breakthroughs and control throughout the T20 World Cup.
• Bumrah's impact included a game-changing 18th over against England and a first-ball wicket against Harry Brook on a batting-friendly Wankhede pitch.
• His ability to shift momentum was evident in the 2024 T20 World Cup against Pakistan, where he castled Umar Akmal.
