The star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is not in action with the national side of India for a period of more than eight months. He couldn’t appear in a couple of big assignments for India including the Asia Cup 2022 followed by the 20-20 World Cup 2022 and the high-profile Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
Citing the recovery concerns, Bumrah is also ruled out from the squad of the upcoming Test Championship final between India and Australia. Meanwhile, the star pacer has recently been spotted watching the ongoing match of the Indian Premier League 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Later on, a section of the Indian cricket fans took this moment as an opportunity to brutally troll Jasprit Bumrah for being out of action for a long period of time from international cricket. Fans immediately took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to come up with some hard and fast-lined comments and harsh reactions to the viral photo of Bumrah watching the match between his franchise MI and native team Gujarat Titans.
Here’s how fans reacted:

Talking about the ongoing action of the match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, the latter won the flip of the coin and asked the hosts to bat first at the mixed-supportive surface of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Batting first, the Titans have scored 68 runs for the loss of two wickets in 9.1 overs after losing opener Wriddhiman Saha and skipper Hardik Pandya so far. The young opener Shubman Gill and all-rounder Vijay Shankar are there in the middle on the individual scores of 45 and 7 runs respectively.
Young left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar and senior spinner Piyush Chawla has scalped one wicket each for Mumbai Indians so far in the ongoing clash against the defending champions.
