We were in trouble but we're really over the moon to win from that stage. My family is here, we came close last time and we got the job done, there's no better feeling than to get your team through in a game like this," said Bumrah.

He was also seen holding his son Angad, his little one was all smiles after Papa Jass gave his medal to his son.

Bumrah was also named the player of the tournament for his consistent performance in the tournament.

Captain Rohit Sharma bids adieu to T20 format

Indian captain Rohit Sharma said, "This is my last game as well, no better time to say goodbye to this format. I've loved every moment of this. I started my career for India playing this format and this is what I wanted, I wanted to win the World Cup. I am completely lost and can't say what kind of emotions I am going through. Can't explain it in words. Let this sink in. Last night, I couldn't sleep as I was desperate and wanted it so badly. But I managed myself well inside the ground."
