Jasprit Bumrah has indirectly taken a sly dig at Virat Kohli after former Australian skipper Michael Clarke asked how someone can bowl at 150 km/h and still be the “nicest guy” on the field. Jasprit Bumrah made it clear that he plays with intensity and always wants to win, but he doesn’t believe in over-the-top aggression or unnecessary drama.
The Indian fast bowler has stressed that staying focused and professional is more important than being a “clown,” hinting at Kohli’s fiery on-field personality. This unexpected dig has stunned many fans while leaving Clarke splits, as the video has now taken social media by storm.
Jasprit Bumrah shocks fans with indirect jibe at Virat Kohli’s fiery persona
Jasprit Bumrah told Michael Clarke on his podcast, “I don’t know about that, but I do have my competitive spirit, and I do play to win, but I don’t want to cross the line, and everybody plays cricket in a certain manner, which I also do. Yes, you have to be competitive; you want to give your best, but you don’t have to be a clown. That is something I try not to be.”
One more reason to hate him. But but he never says anything indirectly to Kohli saaaaar. Fittest comment was about bowlers saaaar. He is pure innocent soul saaaar.
