“I’ve heard cricket is coming to the Olympics, and that’s something I’m really looking forward to. Who would’ve thought? It’s very exciting. I’m looking forward to that whenever we get an opportunity to do,” the 31-year-old superstar pacer said.

“I don’t set goals anymore because every time I have, I haven’t been able to fulfil them. I try to enjoy the game because that’s why I started playing it in the first place. I take it one day at a time and collect memories because at the end of it all, that’s what I’ll remember,” Bumrah further added.
