Not sure where you put the unzipped python directory, but unless you added that directory is in your path you will need to run it like this from current directory

./python3
# or
./python3.8

Or add the unzipped directory to path.

# for current session only
export PATH=$PATH:/your/unzipped/python/dir
# to add permanently
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/your/unzipped/python/dir' >> ~/.bashrc
# or ~/.bash_profile

i am directly running inside bin folder

But this is the python bin, is this dir in your path?

Also why not use yum install -y python3?

Thanks adding bin to path worked!!. without adding to PATH if we navigate bin directory it was not working..bash never searches for command in the current directory ever ?

Right but you can add ./ this means run from current directory even if the app is not in path.
