Jasprit Bumrah Press Conference IND vs AUS 3rd Test:
On the third day of the Gabba Test, heavy rain caused significant interruptions, resulting in an early end to the day’s play. Australia had set a massive total of 445 runs in their first innings. In response, India managed only 51 runs in 17 overs, losing 4 wickets. Several interruptions due to rain occurred during India’s batting. However, Jasprit Bumrah impressed everyone in the Gabba Test, taking 6 wickets with an excellent performance.
After the third day’s play, Bumrah addressed several questions in a press conference. India was tasked with chasing 445 runs, but their top order collapsed for less than 50 runs. The journalists asked Bumrah about the team’s batting performance, and he humorously responded.
One journalist asked Bumrah for his thoughts on India’s batting performance in the first innings of the third Test. Recognizing that Bumrah might not be the ideal person to comment on batting, the journalist asked him, as vice-captain, what his opinion on the team’s situation was. Bumrah, with a hint of humor, advised the journalist to check his own batting record on Google.
Journalist’s Question: “Hello, Jasprit. What’s your take on the batting? Although you’re not the best person to comment on batting, considering the situation at Gabba, what do you think about the team’s position?”
Bumrah’s Response: “That’s a funny question. But you’re questioning my batting ability. Here’s what you can do—search on Google who holds the record for the most runs in a single over of a Test match. Just a little joke. But this is a different matter.”
Bumrah’s response made the journalists laugh. As India’s vice-captain, Bumrah referenced an instance from the 2022 Birmingham Test against England, where he had scored 34 runs off a single Stuart Broad over, including three fours and three sixes, a record for the most runs in an over in Test cricket.
