It seems that all is now well between fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and his IPL franchise, the Mumbai Indians after rumors of unrest between the two parties emerged following a cryptic Instagram story by the pacer after Hardik Pandya moved back to MI from Gujarat Titans.
A day after Pandya’s trade to the Mumbai Indians was officially announced, speedster Jasprit Bumrah put a cryptic Instagram story that made the fans wonder whether the seamer is unhappy with Mumbai getting Pandya back.
About 10 days ago, Jasprit Bumrah posted an Insta story that read: “SILENCE is sometimes the best answer”.
This post from Bumrah was taken in various contexts by the fans, the majority of them believing that perhaps he was not pleased with Hardik’s return.
Mumbai Indians posted with the same caption as that by Jasprit Bumrah
Now, two weeks out from the IPL 2024 auction, on December 7th, the Mumbai Indians posted a picture of Bumrah with the caption in it: “SILENCE IS SOMETIMES THE BEST ANSWER”
This seems to be a reply to all the fans who spread the rumors and talked about a potential rift between Jasprit Bumrah and Mumbai Indians.
Barring any injury from now and the start of the IPL, Jasprit Bumrah will make his return to the IPL in IPL 2024 after missing out on the IPL 2023 season due to a back injury. The fast bowler’s next assignment is the Test series in South Africa later this month.
