Has Mohammad Kaif targeted Virat Kohli using Bumrah as an excuse? This question has arisen because Mohammad Kaif has written something like this on his ex-handle. He has praised Jaspreet Bumrah's celebration after taking Travis Head's wicket, but at the same time has advised the fans to choose their role model carefully. Now the praise for Bumrah is understandable but Kaif's message for the fans forces us to think whether he is targeting Virat Kohli in this way.
After reading the entire statement, it is not difficult to guess who Kaif is talking about. Of course, he did not take the name, but it is clear from his words that the reference is towards Virat Kohli. Let us first know what Kaif wrote on social media.
Mohammad Kaif wrote on his ex handle- Look at Bumrah, how he is celebrating after taking the wicket of Australia's main batsman Travis Head? No angry send-off, no passionate celebration, just a smile on the face, children can learn from this. They should choose their role model wisely.
Travis Head could not open his account in the Melbourne Test against India. Bumrah took his wicket in just 7 balls in the first innings of the Melbourne Test. This is the first time in international cricket that Head has not scored any runs against India. Meaning he got out on zero. In this sense, this success achieved by India was big. Despite this, Bumrah celebrated very simply, which was praised by Kaif.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli came into the limelight by pushing Australian debutant Sam Constas with his shoulder in the first session of the Melbourne Test. The matter escalated so much that he has now been fined. 20 percent of Virat Kohli's match fee has been deducted. Kaif's statement seems to be a direct target of this act of Virat.
