Before the Indian Premier League (IPL) of 2024, former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth believes that Jasprit Bumrah has been left heartbroken by the Mumbai Indians’ decision to re-sign Hardik Pandya. Based on Bumrah’s mysterious social media message that went viral following Mumbai’s transfer agreement with the all-round player, Srikkanth made his statement.
Hardik made the decision to return to Mumbai last Sunday, amid rumors that he might even be selected as the team captain. Additionally, Bumrah’s mysterious Instagram post that stated, “Silence is sometimes the best answer,” coincided with the big announcement.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth expressed the opinion that Bumrah must have believed that Mumbai’s choice was unjust and that there was no reason to rejoice over Hardik’s comeback given that a player of his caliber had remained with the team for the entirety of his IPL career.
There isn’t a cricket player like Jasprit Bumrah. He is among the best in the game, whether it is white-ball or Test cricket. In the World Cup, he was all out. And as you mentioned, he served as the acting Test captain in 2022 during the Fifth Test matchup with England. Maybe he regrets something. It would have wounded him. He probably feels that he should have stayed with MI, but the team is now honoring someone who left and returned. “You’re turning him into the greatest thing on the planet.” He may think it’s unfair,” he remarked.
