‘I have just started…’: Jasprit Bumrah opens up on retirement

The Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup triumph. The pacer took 15 scalps in the tournament and that too at an excellent economy rate of 4.17. He was so impactful with the ball that he won the Player of the Tournament award despite ending at the second spot in the list of top wicket-takers. 

Before anyone could fear about Bumrah if he is also contemplating his retirement from the format, the players himself made it clear that such thoughts are far away from him.

“It (Retirement) is a long way (away). I have just started. I am very happy that I have done well. Hopefully, it is far away now,” said Bumrah said during Team India’s felicitation ceremony at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

The Indian team received a rousing reception from fans as they arrived back home with the T20 World Cup trophy.

“It feels amazing. This ground is really special in my life. I came as an U19 kid. What I have seen today on the ground, on the streets and the people over here. I have never seen anything like that. To experience this and the emotions that we felt after the game is unreal. I will never ever forget them and the memories I have with me now,” Bumrah said.

Bumrah also praised the team and talked about the vision that the senior players have set for the side.

“I will count myself as a young lad as well. The experienced players and the variety that we have, the confidence that we have, that all the players are so confident to take the game by the scruff of the neck. All of that is as special as that get. And like Rohit and Virat just said that all our aim is to take Indian cricket forward and try to help the team as much as we can and bring more glory to the country. We have never won a World Cup before. This gives us more motivation,” he added.
