Google Responds After Bumrah’s Witty Response Goes Viral During Brisbane Test

The third day of the India vs Australia Test in Brisbane witnessed an unforgettable moment, not just on the field but off it. Jasprit Bumrah, India’s spearhead bowler, stole the limelight during a press conference with his witty response to a tricky question about India’s batting struggles. What followed was a social media storm, with Google India even joining in on the fun.

Bumrah’s Stellar Performance with the Ball

Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the series has been nothing short of extraordinary. Leading the wickets tally with 18 dismissals, Bumrah once again showcased his ability to thrive in tough conditions. His second five-wicket haul of the series was a testament to his skill and consistency.

The Witty Press Conference Moment

After the third day’s play, a reporter asked Bumrah about India’s batting performance, adding that he might not be the best person to answer such a question. The query, though well-meaning, set the stage for a hilarious response.

Reporter: “Hi, Jasprit. What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?”

Bumrah: “It’s an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over.” Referring to his 35-run over against Stuart Broad in 2022, Bumrah left the room in splits, before adding, “But, jokes apart. That’s another story.”

Google’s Playful Reaction

Google India, quick to catch the moment, responded with a cheeky post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I only believe in Jassi Bhai.” Accompanied by a video of Bumrah’s comment, the post added to the wave of amusement that had already taken over social media.

Bumrah’s Evolution as a Leader

Beyond his humor, Bumrah’s comments revealed his mindset as a cricketer. He emphasized his focus on solving problems rather than dwelling on them. This approach has been central to his success, enabling him to adapt to various challenges on the field.

“In the Test match that we played in Perth, the wicket was different, Adelaide pink ball was different, the wicket behaved differently, the ball behaved differently and here it is a little different because the wicket is at a level and the run-up is low. So in India, we are not used to that. We are used to state-level grounds. So it is an interesting challenge,” Jasprit Bumrah said in the post-day press conference.

From the swinging pink ball in Adelaide to the uneven bounce at the Gabba, Bumrah has consistently adjusted his strategies to suit the conditions. His ability to analyze and adapt makes him one of the most reliable players in the Indian lineup.

“I always look forward to all of that and I always look to find answers. So that has always been my biggest happiness that if I come across a problem or if I come across a certain situation, I look at how do I solve it, and what can I do in this scenario rather than complaining or looking at someone else or pointing fingers that I need this from this person. I don’t look at all of those things. I look at myself. I have been happy with the way the ball has been coming out and yeah, looking forward to contributing even more,” the fast bowler added.
