On the cricketing front, Bumrah hasn't played a single game for the India National Cricket Team since the T20 World Cup 2024. He was the major reason behind the team winning the tournament as he came up with a magical effort throughout the World Cup.

Bumrah won the India almost every game with his sensational bowling. He changed the complexion of the game and helped India win matches from the difficult situations in the entire tournament, snatching victory for the team from the jaws of defeat.

Bumrah won the Player of the Tournament for his 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 and helped his team end the title drought and win the first-ever ICC title after 2013. Since then he has been rested as the team management decided to manage his workload.
