India’s star player, Jasprit Bumrah, found himself in an amusing situation after India secured a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 final by defeating England in the semi-finals. In a video circulating on social media, Bumrah can be seen attempting to shake hands with the umpire, only to be left waiting for an extended period. The umpire inadvertently overlooked Bumrah’s hand, shaking hands with other players instead. Bumrah appeared puzzled as he waited for the handshake.
Given Bumrah’s exceptional performances in the T20 World Cup, many have hailed him as the ‘best player in the team’. The video has created a buzz on social media, entertaining fans worldwide.
