India’s historic triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final was filled with standout performances, but one name stood above the rest — Jasprit Bumrah, whose brilliant bowling display earned him Player of the Week honours.
Bumrah delivered a masterclass in fast bowling during the final against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium, finishing with exceptional figures of 4 wickets for 15 runs at an economy of 3.75. His spell dismantled New Zealand’s hopes of chasing a daunting total and played a crucial role in India’s dominant 96-run victory.
The final saw India produce a spectacular batting performance first. Led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, India posted a mammoth 255/6 after explosive contributions from Abhishek Sharma (52 off 21), Sanju Samson (89 off 46), and Ishan Kishan, whose attacking half-century kept the pressure on New Zealand’s bowlers. Late fireworks from Shivam Dube helped push the total to a formidable level.
