When the Mumbai Indians and India’s speedster Jasprit Bumrah faced the Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on Tuesday, a young fan received an experience that will live in his memory forever. A video of Bumrah awarding a young fan with his coveted Purple Cap—an accolade bestowed upon the top wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League—was shared on X by MI’s official account. Furthermore, Bumrah signed an autograph for him.
Ecstatic fan running around the stands
The fan was spotted running around in the stands, his face plastered with smiles, obviously ecstatic to have received Jasprit Bumrah‘s most valuable possession and an autograph from one of the best in the world. The fan did, in fact, receive a “core memory” that he would never forget.
“That kid now has a core memory for life #MumbaiMeriJaan #MumbaiIndians #LSGvMI | @Jaspritbumrah93,” tweeted MI.
