Jasprit Bumrah, the ace pacer for Mumbai Indians, stirred the cricketing world with a cryptic Instagram post following the confirmation of Hardik Pandya’s return to the team for IPL 2024. Bumrah’s post, stating “silence is sometimes the best answer,” triggered widespread speculation, leading some to believe that the cricketer harbours aspirations of leadership within the franchise.
Srikkanth Analyzes the Situation
Former cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Bumrah might be hurt and feel the move was not fair to him. Having played a pivotal role in Mumbai Indians’ last four championship victories and even captaining India in a Test match, Bumrah’s expectations may not align with the recent developments in the franchise.
âYou can’t find another cricketer like Jasprit Bumrah. Be it Tests or white-ball cricket, he is one of the best going around. He might have regrets. He would have been hurt. He must be feeling that he stayed back with MI but the franchise is now celebrating someone who left and came back. ‘You are making him the biggest thing on earth’. He might feel it’s not fair,â expressed Srikkanth in a video on his YouTube channel.
Parallel with Ravindra Jadeja’s Experience
Srikkanth draws a parallel between Bumrah’s situation and that of Ravindra Jadeja at Chennai Super Kings (CSK). According to him, Jadeja felt similarly aggrieved when the CSK management stripped him of captaincy. However, the intervention of MS Dhoni resolved the matter amicably. Srikkanth anticipates a similar resolution for Bumrah, Pandya, and MI skipper Rohit Sharma.
âSomething similar happened with Ravindra Jadeja at CSK. In my opinion, what will happen is… I am sure the team management will sit with Pandya, Bumrah, and Rohit and sort out things. If he is getting annoyed, obviously, something must have happened,” Srikkanth added.
As speculation mounts, Srikkanth emphasizes the importance of open communication within the team. He urges Mumbai Indians’ management to initiate discussions with Bumrah, Pandya, and Sharma to address any concerns or misunderstandings.
