IND vs ENG: Bumrah’s Witty Quip Steals Spotlight at Lord’s Press Meet
Ray Sportz Web Desk: India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah not only delivered a fiery five-wicket haul at Lord’s but also bowled over the media with his sharp wit during the post-match press conference on Day 2 of the 3rd Test against England.
While addressing questions about his performance, a journalist’s phone unexpectedly rang—flashing “Wife” on the screen. Without missing a beat, Bumrah smiled and remarked, “Somebody’s wife is calling. But I will not pick it up.” The light-hearted moment drew laughter across the room and quickly went viral on social media.
The pacer also commented on his subdued reaction to his five-for: “I was tired. I’m not 21–22 anymore that I’ll jump around.” With trademark humility, he emphasized the team’s goals over personal milestones.
As India maintains a strong position in the Test, Bumrah continues to prove why he’s not just a match-winner with the ball but also a crowd favorite off the field.
