ENG vs IND 2021: “If I Was Jasprit Bumrah, I Would Say, I Will Cancel All Your IPL Contracts” – Virender Sehwag Reacts To Jasprit Bumrah-Mark Wood Spat

Jos Buttler-Jasprit Bumrah

The second test match between England and India at the Lord’s cricket ground has witnessed some intense moments. During the first session on day five, Mark Wood and Jasprit Bumrah engaged in a heated argument.

The Indian pacer also had a chat with the umpires and Jos Buttler regarding the incident. Virender Sehwag who was in the commentary box shared his take on the heated discussion. In a typical Sehwag fashion, he jokingly said, “If I was Bumrah, I would have said, I am from Mumbai Indians and will get all your IPL contracts cancelled.

In the very next over, Mark Wood bowled a bouncer to Jasprit Bumrah, who swung his bat wildly and slammed the ball for a four. The Indian dressing was up on their feet including the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, animatedly applauding the boundary.
