India set a record score of 255/5, and Bumrah's exceptional bowling performance, where he took four wickets for just 15 runs, was pivotal in securing the win. His outstanding display earned him the Player of the Match title, contributing significantly to India's consecutive T20 World Cup victory. The Men in Blue made history by becoming the first team to clinch the prestigious title in back-to-back tournaments.
Bumrah emerged as one of the standout bowlers in the T20 World Cup 2026, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker alongside teammate Varun Chakaravarthy. He claimed 14 wickets across eight matches, boasting an impressive economy rate of 6.21 and an average of 12.43. His remarkable performance in the final also made him the leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers in T20 World Cup history, surpassing legends like Anrich Nortje and Lasith Malinga. Furthermore, he became only the second bowler to achieve four wickets in a final, following Ajantha Mendis, and recorded the second-best bowling figures in a T20 World Cup final.
With a commanding score of 255 against New Zealand, Bumrah's skillful variations and precise yorkers dismantled the Kiwis' batting lineup, playing a crucial role in India's convincing 96-run victory and securing the T20 World Cup for the third time.
