Jasprit Bumrah is leading India’s bowling attack in the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. The 31-year-old pacer bowled brilliantly and took 5 wickets for 83 runs in the first innings. He is currently the world’s No. 1 Test bowler.
Before the series began, Bumrah had said he would play only three out of five Test matches. But now fans and experts want him to play all five.
Impressed with his performance in the first innings, Sunil Gavaskar and Cheteshwar Pujara made a light-hearted request to Bumrah’s wife, Sanjana Ganesan. On June 22, during a chat, the two told Sanjana to convince Bumrah to play in all five games of the series.
Sanjana, who is also present at the ground covering the series, later passed the message to Bumrah with a smile. The whole moment was caught on camera and loved by fans.
Here's what Sanjana said:
"There's a request that's come from upstairs from Cheteshwar Pujara and Sunil Gavaskar, don't shoot the messenger. I am just telling you quote unquote, Jasprit, please play all five Tests, please, please, please."
To which, the Indian acer pacer responded with:
"That is a conversation we'll have on other day, Thank You!"
