Jasprit Bumrah, known for his calm temperament and fiery pace on the field, had a rare moment of frustration on Wednesday, October 15, when he lost his cool at the Mumbai airport. The Indian pace spearhead lashed out at a group of reporters who blocked his way while he was heading toward his car, sparking a viral moment across social media.
In the video circulating online, Bumrah appeared visibly irritated after being surrounded by media personnel and cameramen who rushed to capture his photos as soon as he stepped out of the airport. Despite his polite attempts to move past them, the crowd made it difficult for him to reach his vehicle, prompting the usually composed cricketer to express his annoyance.
“Maine bulaya hi nahi (I have not asked you guys to come),” Jasprit Bumrah said firmly, as seen in the viral clip. The right-arm pacer even suspected that the media may have been waiting for another celebrity, adding, “Tum kisi aur ke liye aaye ho; aa rahe honge wo (You guys have come for someone else; they must be coming).”

A visibly frustrated Bumrah replied, “Arey bhai, meri gaadi ke paas jaane do mujhe (Please let me go to my car).”
