Bumrah's Hilarious Press Conference Quip Goes Viral

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, known for his fiery bowling on the field, showed off his lighter side during a press conference after the second day of the Lord's Test against England. A funny incident involving a ringing phone left everyone in splits, and the video of the moment is now a social media sensation.

As Bumrah was addressing journalists, discussing his bowling, team strategy, and the match situation, a journalist's phone, placed near him, suddenly began to ring. With a chuckle, Bumrah glanced at the phone and quipped, "Someone's wife is calling, so I will not pick it up. I have left it like that."

This witty response sent ripples of laughter through the room, earning praise from cricket fans across social media platforms. Users have shared the video widely on Twitter and Instagram, commending Bumrah's amusing demeanor. One fan commented, "Bumrah is as dangerous on the field as he is funny in the press conference!" while another remarked, "This answer was as accurate as Bumrah's yorker!"

This humorous moment comes after Bumrah's historic performance in the match, where he secured 5 wickets in the first innings. This achievement marked his 13th five-wicket haul on foreign soil, making him the Indian bowler with the most such feats overseas. He had also claimed a five-wicket haul in the series' opening match.
