I'd Seen My Childhood Heroes Win This Award: Bumrah On His Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy Honour
Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy: India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who capped off a remarkable 2024 by receiving his ICC Awards and Team of the Year caps in Dubai, has opened up on his historic run for India across all formats and winning the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year, and said that it feels surreal to earn the honour that once was won by his childhood heroes.
Bumrah was named the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year, ICC Men’s Test Player of the Year and was inducted into the ICC Men’s Test Team of the Year and ICC T20I Team of the Year. The 31-year-old pacer received his ICC honours ahead of India’s much-anticipated Champions Trophy fixture against Pakistan.
“It feels really good. As a child, I'd seen some of my childhood heroes win this (Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy) award. Always a privilege when you get such an honour," Bumrah was quoted as saying by ICC after receiving his ICC Awards.
