During the 2024 T20 World Cup, Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah shared a light-hearted moment with Canadian players who joked that had he moved to Canada, they might have played the World Cup together. Bumrah recounted this amusing anecdote on the Indian Express Adda show, reflecting on a past consideration of relocating to Canada if his cricket aspirations didn't materialise. His mother, Daljit, had suggested the move, giving him a few years to pursue his cricketing dream.
In the tournament, Bumrah was a standout performer, taking 15 wickets in eight matches with an impressive economy rate of 4.17. His stellar performances were pivotal in India's seven-run victory over South Africa in the final, securing the coveted trophy. For his efforts, Bumrah was named the Player of the Tournament, marking a significant achievement in his cricketing career.
