Team India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah took a dig at critics after Day 2 of the third Test against England at Lord’s on Friday, July 11. While talking about constantly being under scrutiny and being judged, he cheekily replied that he is happy that people are making money because of him. Notably, Bumrah claimed a fifer on Day 2 of the Lord’s Test.

At the press conference following the end of the second day’s play, Bumrah said: “It’s good to be on the Honours board, but I know that discussions will keep happening. There are so many cameras here. Even when we practice, there are so many cameras. This is the era of views, subscribers. I know that everyone wants to create something sensational. Things happen, but it’s not in my hands. Log paise kama rahe hai mere through toh achi baat hai [People are earning money through me, which is good]. At least they will give me blessings that I gave them viewership. But I don’t think about all those things.”

While talking about being judged despite being a star performer in the Indian team, Bumrah cited Sachin Tendulkar and explained that the legend was also judged constantly even though he played 200 Tests as well.

“You will be judged as long as you are wearing this jersey. Every cricketer goes through that. As long as I am on TV, judgments will keep coming. Obviously, that’s part and parcel of professional sport. You will always be judged by your performances day in and day out. Sachin sir played 200 Test matches, he was also still judged. So everybody judges. That’s how it is,” Jasprit Bumrah concluded.
