Talking to Bumrah, Yuvraj said, "I realized I should retire after I played with you (Jasprit Bumrah) guys in the final stages of my career. But I actually thought of retirement first in 2018 when I was playing the IPL for Kings XI Punjab and Andrew Tye (Australia fast bowler) started calling me 'Yuvi pa'."

The veteran spoke about India's most reliable bowler of the current time, Bumrah, and how he had faith in him since the beginning. "Three years back I had predicted that you would become the number one bowler in the world," Yuvraj said.

Bumrah's journey to Indian cricket wasn't easy, he had to work hard on his improvement to be here.

"Many people told me I won't play for long, there was an expectation that the last person to play for the country would be me. They told me I would just play Ranji Trophy. But I kept on improving and I persisted with my action," Bumrah told Yuvraj.
