A crucial factor in ending India's 11-year ICC trophy drought was the exceptional performance of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Throughout the 2024 T20 World Cup, Bumrah's consistent accuracy and ability to excel under pressure were key elements in India's success, especially during the knockout stages. Bumrah's impressive tally of 15 wickets in eight matches, with an outstanding average of 8.26 and an economy rate of 4.17, played a pivotal role in securing the title. His remarkable contributions earned him the Player of the Tournament award.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik, during his commentary, likened Bumrah to a Kohinoor diamond, referring to him as the most precious piece of the team. He praised Bumrah as the premier bowler across all formats, attributing this acclaim to his consistent ability to perform under pressure repeatedly.

“When I was on air, I said he is more valuable than a Kohinoor diamond. Genuinely, he is the greatest all-format bowler at the moment in world cricket. Under pressure to come and keep performing time and time again, not many can do that,” stated Karthik, while speaking on Cricbuzz.

“He’s a captain’s dream, someone who wins at any stage, any play of the match — that’s what makes him so special. Brilliant, fantabulous — that’s the word for him,” added Karthik.
