‘Bauna bhi to hai…’: Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant’s hilarious CHAT on Temba Bavuma’s LBW, Watch the viral video
New Delhi: Day 1 of the first Test at Eden Gardens turned intense as Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is India’s most lethal weapon with the ball. His early breakthroughs pushed South Africa onto the back foot, but an unexpected on-field conversation soon became the centre of attention.
Bumrah’s explosive start
Jasprit Bumrah broke the back of South Africa’s innings early on. He dismissed Aiden Markram and then Ryan Rickelton cheaply to give India a solid start.
Controversial conversation about Bavuma goes viral
After Temba Bavuma was denied an LBW, the discussion between Bumrah and Rishabh Pant was caught on camera. The video quickly went viral on social media after the word “bauna” was heard in the conversation.
Pant’s correct decision on DRS
Bumrah had considered taking a review against Bavuma, but Pant explained to him that the ball could go over the stumps. Replays clearly showed the ball was indeed going over the stumps, and Pant’s assessment proved to be correct.
What punishment will Jasprit Bumrah get from the ICC for this?
Bumrah said: “Bauna bhi toh hai ye.”
Pant said: “Haan bauna hai but laga bhi toh yahaan hai” (referring to the above-knee roll).#indvssa
