Watch- Jasprit Bumrah leaves Virat Kohli; displays immense affinity for Rohit Sharma in front of Kanpur crowd

A video of Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the Kanpur Test sparked discussions on social media.

Jasprit Bumrah left Virat Kohli and turned around to look for Rohit Sharma after the play was halted due to bad light on the opening day of the match.

Akash Deep was the best bowler for India on Day 1 in the second Test match at the Green Park in Kanpur. Bangladesh lost three wickets for just 107 runs before rain ended the final session. Jasprit Bumrah, who took five wickets in Team India's 280-run victory in Chennai, went wicketless on the opening day.

Bumrah began his spell by bowling three consecutive maiden overs. He kept Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan guessing at the crease.

Bumrah induced 22 false shots and beat the batter six times in his nine overs on Day 1. However, he couldn't secure any wickets despite his impressive performance.

Jasprit Bumrah Ignites Social Media with Viral Clip

Jasprit Bumrah gained attention on social media despite not having the best day on the field. In a viral video from the Kanpur Test, fans dubbed him the "OG Ro kid." In the 29-second clip, Bumrah can be seen walking next to Virat Kohli as play was stopped due to bad light during the final session of Day 1.

However, the Team India fast bowling spearhead ignored Virat Kohli before turning to look for his captain, Rohit Sharma. Bumrah then walked up to him and engaged in a serious conversation while making their way to the dugout, with Rishabh Pant joining them as well.

The way Rishabh pant, jasprit bumrah, T Ashwin, Jaiswal, Jadeja and other players stay around Rohit Sharma, they consider him not only as their captain but also as their big brother.🥹🤍🧿
