Indian cricket player Jasprit Bumrah made a fan very happy when he thanked her for writing a long post about his performance in the T20 World Cup final. In that important game, Bumrah helped turn things around for India in the last two overs when South Africa needed 30 runs from the last 30 balls.

“Thank you so much for your kind words ,really well written. That day will will always remain special in my heart,” wrote Bumrah on his X account.
