The fiery Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah also seems to be spending his time in quarantine by watching the “Friends: The Reunion” episode. On Thursday, the pacer shared on Instagram Stories a snap of his television screen where the reunion episode of the popular American sitcom was playing and captioned it “Loving The #FRIENDSReunion.”
On May 4, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) indefinitely postponed the IPL 2021 after several players and staff members tested positive for COVID-19 in its bio-bubble. Only 29 of the 60 IPL matches were played this season when the tournament was postponed indefinitely.
