WHAT. MAY.But first of all, let’s begin this in a typical Chris Martin style… But with a Bambaiyya touch! 😉🎶Jasprit… Our beautiful brother,The best bowler in the whole of cricket,We 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 watching you destroy 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴,With wicket after wicket after wicket!!!🎶**********Dear National Treasure,We vividly remember the day when you walked in to the आपला Wankhede ahead of the 2013 campaign – A rising 🌟 with a unique bowling action destined for success!Your first match for Mumbai Indians as a 19-year-old teenager – A high-voltage clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and you decide to take Virat Kohli’s wicket to kickstart the proceedings…From that very moment, we knew we had unearthed a true hidden gem, who, in the years to come, will bully every batting unit that comes his way. 🔥That season-of-firsts also included our maiden 🏆 at the second time of asking. Now, that we look back at it, we were fortunate enough to have you in the dressing room that was beaming with ecstasy!Following another successful tournament in 2015, you unleashed Bumrah 2.0 and the cricketing fraternity certainly wasn’t ready for it!The IPL 2016 witnessed you register 10+ wickets in a single campaign for the first time and since then, it’s all FIRE. It’s Jasprit Bumrah’s world and we are just living in it…Fast forward to 2020-21, having had 4️⃣ trophies already under your belt, a lethal partnership with Trent Boult saw you guys elevate pace bowling to the next level, taking a combined haul of 52 wickets in 15 innings en route to our FAMOUS FIVE!
