After returning to India after winning the T20 World Cup trophy, all the players were given a grand welcome in Mumbai. The entire team did a victory parade from Nariman Point to Wankhede Stadium in an open bus. During this, lakhs of Indian fans gathered to see their star players. When the Indian team reached Wankhede Stadium for the felicitation ceremony, Virat Kohli praised Jaspreet Bumrah. He called Bumrah a national treasure and asked him to first sign the petition.

What did Virat say for Bumrah?

In T20 cricket, the economy of any bowler remains above 6, but Jasprit Bumrah gave only 4.17 runs per over during the World Cup. With this, he has become the cheapest bowler in the history of T20 World Cup. He stopped Pakistan from scoring 40 runs in 36 balls. In the final, South Africa could not score 30 runs in 30 balls. Seeing his deadly bowling, Virat Kohli called him India's national treasure and the eighth wonder of the world at the Wankhede Stadium. He said that he was once again afraid that the trophy might slip out of his hands, but what Bumrah did in the last five overs was unbelievable.
