Jasprit Bumrah played a big role in helping Team India end the 11-year wait for an ICC trophy this year. The 30-year-old pacer played in all eight matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 and picked up 15 wickets. For his super show with the ball in the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup, Bumrah won the Player of the Series award.
After helping India beat South Africa by seven runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final played in Barbados on June 29, the Ahmedabad-born pacer returned to India on Thursday (July 4) morning and met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in New Delhi.
During the hour-long meeting between the Indian players and PM Modi, Bumrah was accompanied by his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, and 10-month-old son, Angad. After celebrating the T20 World Cup title win with the PM, Bumrah took to X (formerly Twitter) to share three pictures and captioned the post, “It was an honour to be invited to our honourable Prime Minister’s residence this morning. Thank you so much for your warmth and hospitality sir @narendramodi.”

Bumrah’s post after meeting PM Modi went viral on the internet because of the picture in which the Indian Prime Minister can be seen holding his son, Angad.
The adorable picture was shared by his wife Sanjana as well on Instagram with the caption, “such an incredibly special morning.”
