Who is Jasprit Bumrah's favourite captain?
When asked to choose his favorite captain among the celebrated trio of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni, Bumrah gave a surprising yet insightful answer.
"See, my favourite captain is me because I have captained a few games. Obviously, there are great captains, but I will take my name, you know, that I am my favourite captain." He stated.
This answer highlighted his unique perspective and self-confidence. Although he acknowledged the greatness of all three captains, his choice of himself reflected his belief in his own leadership abilities.
Bumrah's interview was filled with interesting cricketing insights. He shared the funniest on-field sledge he had encountered, where players would come up to him smiling and say, "Go easy on me."

He also expressed a desire to change one cricketing rule: the no-ball free hit. Bumrah humorously suggested that this rule should be removed.
Reflecting on his favorite moments, Bumrah recalled the last ball of a T20 World Cup match where India emerged victorious. He described the feeling as "unreal" and highlighted the hard work and determination that led to that victory.
