India’s marquee Jasprit Bumrah was caught in an awkward moment after the team qualified for the T20 World Cup 2024 final, beating England in the penultimate clash of the tournament on Thursday. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Bumrah could be seen trying to shake hands with the umpire but was made to wait for quite a long time. The official seemed to have missed Bumrah’s hand by mistake as he shook hands with other players. The Indian speedster looked baffled as his wait continued.
Considering Bumrah’s performances in the T20 World Cup this year, he has been lauded by many as the ‘best player in the team’. The video has taken social media by storm, leaving the fans in splits.
