Earlier in the day, Bumrah won the coveted ICC's award for men’s cricketer of the year for his stellar performances in both the red-ball and white-ball format in 2024.
With that he became the fifth Indian cricketer to win the award, after Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Ravichandran Ashwin and Virat Kohli.
“When I was a youngster, I saw many of my childhood heroes winning this great award, so (I’m) very happy,” Bumrah said.
