Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the best bowler across formats in world cricket currently, and played a big role in India's historic T20 World Cup win on June 29. His stature has grown leaps and bounds over the years, and the love he is getting from fans after the World Cup heroics is quite insane. 

The same love was seen when he visited the Sathyabama University in Chennai where he got a grand welcome from the fans with huge cheers of 'Bumrah, Bumrah' from all corners. It was quite similar to the craze the likes of Rajnikanth and MS Dhoni receive in Chennai, and was a surely a moment to behold for all Bumrah fans assembled at the event.

Bumrah was felicitated with a crown and made his entry on a grand chair with firecrackers bursting in background. This shows how the people in India are valuing his contribution with the ball, and it is quite rare to see such love for a bowler in a batters-dominated game.
