Jasprit Bumrah might have been out of action for over a month, and might have missed the IND vs ENG series, along with the Champions Trophy, but his exploits Down Under are fresh in his fans’ memories. The star bowler had picked up 32 wickets in the entire series, troubling the Aussies. Out of his battles, the ones with batter Sam Konstas were just unbelievable.

In fact, the duo exchanged a few words too, during the fourth Test. Then, it seemed like Bumrah tried to rattle the debutant by saying a few nasty words, but now as it turns out, there wasn’t anything unpleasant in what he said. “Pata nahi isme to aapko kuch aur lag raha hoga, main to usse puch raha tha ki ‘sab theek hai? Mummy theek hai, ghar par sab theek hai? (‘I don’t know what you guys are thinking but I mainly asked him, ‘Is everything okay?’ Is your mother fine, is everything at home fine?’)” Bumrah said at a promotional event.

“Usne bola ‘haan theek hai’ to maine bola ‘Acha theek hai ab ball daal deta hoon.’ Aap logo ne kuch aur interpret kar liya hoga. I think udhar words nahi the to maybe miscommunication ho gaya hoga. (He said ‘Yes, it’s fine?’ to which I said ‘Now, I will bowl’. You guys must have interpreted it some thing else. I think the lack of words may have caused some miscommunication).
Bumrah the Best in the World
“Incidents like these happen when the game is close. “We were wasting some time, they were trying to do it as well. We were trying to put some pressure. In that very match, Konstas had gone on his display immense grit, but Jasprit Bumrah went on to add that he could have gotten out 6-7 times.
“Interesting batsman (Konstas) as well and I always felt I was in the game, I never felt I am far away from a wicket. Initially I felt I could have got him out 6-7 times in the first two overs but that’s how cricket goes, some days it pays off, it looks good, some days if it doesn’t you might be criticising the same person,” Bumrah had said in an interaction with Channel 7.
