New Delhi. The Indian team raised the flag of victory over South Africa in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup and registered a thrilling victory. After becoming the champion of the T20 World Cup, the Indian players were given a grand welcome in India. Expressing gratitude for such a welcome, bowler Jaspreet Bumrah said that he has been living in a dream for the last few days.
The 30-year-old fast bowler took 15 wickets in the tournament jointly hosted by the US and West Indies. Bumrah played an important role in India's title win after 17 years in the T20 World Cup. He was named the best player of the tournament. Bumrah posted on Instagram, “I have been very grateful for the last few days. I am living in a dream and it has filled me with happiness and gratitude.”
The fast bowler has also posted a video with it. This video includes excerpts from breakfast with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after returning to India and the victory parade with millions of fans in Mumbai. This 42-second clip also includes audio of Virat Kohli's speech during the felicitation ceremony after the parade on Thursday in which he is praising Bumrah's contribution.
Bumrah, along with Hardik Pandya, helped India make a great comeback in the final against South Africa.

During the felicitation ceremony at Wankhede Stadium, Kohli had said that a player like Bumrah is born once in many generations. After this, Bumrah's name started resonating in the stadium.
