As Jasprit Bumrah continues to take giant and rapid strides toward greatness, he is garnering fans across the world of all ages.
As the Indian seamer took a brilliant five-wicket haul on Day 2 of the Cape Town Test in South Africa’s second innings, a video of a cute young child went viral in which the kid is cheering on for Jasprit Bumrah in his special way.
This video of the kid egging Bumrah on is from India’s 2020/21 tour of Australia where Bumrah played a crucial part in India winning the series. India’s fan-group which travels around the world supporting the cricket team, The Bharat Army, had posted a video from the MCG 2020 Test, in which Bumrah rattled the Aussies with a four-wicket haul in the first innings.
This sweet child can be seen trying his best to scream the name of Jasprit Bumrah
The stutter in his cheer makes this even cuter.
This video resurfaced on social media after Bumrah took a terrific five-wicket haul in Cape Town on Thursday. This is the 9th five-fer for Bumrah in only 32 Tests and his third in South Africa.

Bumrah dismantled the South African middle-order in the first session on Day 2. South Africa started Day 2 at 62/3 in their second innings, still trailing by 36 runs. In the first over of the day, Bumrah dismissed Bedingham. edging to KL Rahul. He then had Verreynne top-edging a pull shot, and Marco Jansen with a reflexive return catch. Jasprit Bumrah got Maharaj’s wicket to seal his five-wicket haul.
However, opener Aiden Markram launched a counter-attack on other bowlers and slammed Mukesh, Prasidh, and Siraj for a spate of boundaries to take South Africa’s lead to over 50 and he inched toward a sensational century on this treacherous pitch.
