Jasprit Bumrah gives belt treatment to paparazzi at airport after ‘Diwali bonus’ remarks
Table of Contents
Jasprit Bumrah is usually known for having a composed attitude on the field; however, the player lost his cool with the paparazzi outside the Mumbai Airport on his return.
Seasoned Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is known for his exceptional pace bowling abilities, but his workload has been a huge concern for the Indian management. Despite his workload, he was part of the Asia Cup campaign in between the two red-ball series against England and the West Indies. This move was probably to give more T20 action to the pacer with eyes set on the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Jasprit Bumrah unleashes fury on paps after return to Mumbai
All public celebrities, including Cricketers, are often seen surrounded by paparazzi who do not miss any chance to peek into their professional as well as personal lives. Though many often cherish their stardom, some like to maintain a low profile.
One such name would be Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who doesn't like so much of a share of the spotlight. Recently, when the cricketer landed in Mumbai after India's series win against the West Indies at Delhi, he was surrounded by Paps.
Though not known much for his aggressive demeanor, this time around, Bumrah looked a bit irked by the paps and lost his patience with them, looking to grab his attention.
A visibly annoyed Bumrah said, "Maine bulaya hi nahi. Tum kisi aur ke liye aaye ho, aa rahe honge wo" (I have not asked you to come. You guys have come for someone else; they must be coming).
One of the paps even said, "Bumrah bhai, aap bonus mein mile ho humein Diwali ke" (You are our Diwali bonus)." This had no different impact on Jasprit and he further replied, "Arey bhai, meri gaadi ke paas jaane do mujhe (Please let me go to my car).”
Jasprit Bumrah did not travel alongside the Indian team to Australia
Jasprit Bumrah has returned to Mumbai to unite with his family after the conclusion of the Test series against the West Indies. He has been away for nearly a month, as he was part of the Asia Cup squad before this.
The Indian team departed for the Australia tour on the 15th of October, with the ODIs scheduled to start on the 19th of October. However, Bumrah has not boarded the same flight, it seems, since he has not been picked into the ODI Squad by Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir.
Bumrah is likely to join the Indian team, but later, that is, before the Indian team begins preparation for the shortest format of the game. They have a small gap period of 3 days between the final ODI on the 25th and the First T20I match on the 29th of October.
With 7 wickets against West Indies, Bumrah holds the top spot in ICC Test Bowling Rankings
Jasprit Bumrah picked up wickets for India in England despite playing just 3 matches; he was also among the wickets in the Asia Cup and wrapped the West Indies series up with 7 wickets to his name.
Jasprit has been India's greatest and is currently the World's finest pacer and is ranked no. 1 on the ICC Men's Bowling Rankings. He continues his stay at the top of the list, while Kuldeep Yadav, the spinner, moved 7 places to a new position of rank 14, after his commendable comeback series with the red ball.
