Jasprit Bumrah video - (Source: @Goatified/X.com)
India star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is back in the news for his off-field activities. The 32-year-old, who is currently part of India's squad for South Africa T20Is, has landed in hot water after a heated conversation with a fan at the airport.
A video has been going viral on social media, showing Jasprit Bumrah, who appears to be in a queue at the airport, becoming annoyed by a fan who is constantly filming him. The clip showed Bumrah for a few seconds but then warned the fan to stop filming with the remark, 'agar aapka phone gir gaya toh mujhe bolna nahi (If your phone drops, then don't blame me).'
The fan took the remark in a light sense and replied that it doesn't matter, following which Bumrah snatched the phone, and the video ended abruptly. The video has not spread like wildfire on social media, and the internet is divided on the right-arm seamer's act.
Jasprit Bumrah missed the 3rd T20I due to personal reasons
Mostly, the fans sided with Bumrah because the right-arm seamer recently missed the 3rd T20I vs South Africa due to personal reasons. The seamer didn't disclose the details of his absence, but reports hinted at a family emergency.
Amid the chaos in personal life, it is natural for an athlete to demand his own space and not acknowledge to every fan interaction, which irked Bumrah in this instance, as he was already disturbed by recent events in his personal space.
Nonetheless, in the latest events, the right-arm seamer rejoined the squad and was all set to feature in the fourth T20I, but the match got abandoned due to fog in Lucknow. So far, Bumrah has played two games and picked up two T20Is.
