Jasprit Bumrah's explosive rant against critics: They said I'd last only 6 months
Jasprit Bumrah launched an explosive rant against his critics, saying that they have constantly written him off at many moments. Bumrah's workload management has been a topic of discussion ahead of the series, with the pacer himself admitting that he won't play all five matches in the series. Bumrah's critics have questioned his ability to consistently play for the national side, and he silenced them with his 14th career five-wicket haul during day three of the first Test against England. The pacer's bowling performance helped India take a lead of 6 runs at the end as the visitors ended the day on 90 for 2 in the second innings. advertisementSpeaking at the press conference, Bumrah said that what people write about him isn't in his control and sometimes his name gets mentioned to ensure clicks come in. "Look, what people write is not in my control, and I'm not trying to teach anyone or tell them, 'Don't write this about me, write that instead.' Everybody is free to write whatever they want. Obviously, I understand that in our country, cricket is very popular. And sometimes, to make a headline, if my name gets mentioned, the viewership increases—so I do understand that. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me. Because if those things start getting into my head, I'll start believing them," said Bumrah. Bumrah said that he wants to back his own beliefs and not listen to what others want him to do or play in a certain way. The Indian pacer said that his critics have constantly written him off by saying his career would come to an end in a few months. advertisement"What matters to me is who I am and what I believe in—that should dictate how I go about things. If someone else wants me to play in a certain way, I'm not that kind of person. My preparation, my ideas—they've always been rooted in my desire to play for India.""I've played cricket based on my own beliefs. I've reached every format on the back of those beliefs. Because people didn't just say no to me once—at first, they said I wouldn't be able to play, then they said I'd last only six months, then eight months. But playing and playing, I'm now close to completing ten years in international cricket. It's been twelve or thirteen years that I've played in the IPL."'I'll keep playing for as long as God has written it for me'Bumrah claimed that people still say that he will retire soon, and his mantra is to keep doing his work and play as long as it is possible for him. "Even now, people say the same things—'Now he'll go, now he'll retire.' Let them keep waiting. I'm not thinking about all that. I'll keep doing my work. Every three or four months, people say, 'Now he'll go, now he'll go.' Let's see."advertisement"I'll keep playing for as long as God has written it for me. I prepare my best, and after that, I leave it up to God. With all the blessings He has given me, I try to carry them forward. I try to take Indian cricket forward too," said Bumrah. Bumrah's stunning performance on Day 3 also saw him go level with Kapil Dev for most number five-wicket hauls outside India and became the first Asian bowler to get 150 wickets in SENA countries.

WATCH: Sai Sudharsan's unique visualisation method during Test debut in 1st India vs England Test
B Sai Sudharsan has largely had a Test debut to forget for India against England at Headingley, after being dismissed for a four-ball duck in the first innings and then getting out for a 48-ball 30 for In a video posted by broadcasters Sony Sports Network, the Indian cricketer can be seen visualising with his helmet on. Sai Sudharsan is seen lifting the ball and raising it in front of his eyes, then he moves it sideways as his eyes track its path. Then after holding the ball in front of his eyes for a few seconds, he drops the ball. In the video, Sai Sudharsan can also be seen taking copious notes in a book while still wearing his helmet. Focus. Visualise. Execute 🧠 Great innings begin long before the first ball 💫#SonySportsNetwork #GroundTumharaJeetHamari #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) June 22, 2025 The clip earned Sai Sudharsan admiration from Commonwealth Games medallist Tejaswin Shankar who wrote on X: 'If you can't see it you can't achieve it! Beautiful behind the scenes visuals and takeaway for all aspiring athletes!' Sai Sudharsan has previously spoken about the importance of visualisation for his batting. 'In terms of preparation, I feel that the most important thing for me is visualisation and putting in hard work in practice. I try and see what the bowler is doing and then take tactical advantages from the bowler. I first try out things in the nets, whether it is possible to do it against a particular bowler. I visualise it, then I go and try it in the match,' he had said during a JioHotstar PressRoom interaction with media in the recent Indian Premier League season. Sai Sudharsan has also been caught by broadcasters spending plenty of time next to the pitch before games practising his bat swing among other things. Not surprisingly then, he earned the Orange Cap in IPL 2025 thanks to scoring 759 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.21. The runs were scored at a strike rate of 156.17.

Bumrah Backs Indian Fielders, Says 'Nobody Is Dropping Catches Purposely'
Last Updated: Indian players dropped at least half a dozen catches in England's first innings, and the hosts batters made the most of the reprieves. Star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has come out in support of Indian players after they faced sharp criticism from fans and experts of the game for their poor performance on the field during England's first innings. Indian players dropped at least half a dozen catches on Saturday and Sunday combined to give multiple chances to England batters, and they made India pay as well for that. When asked about India's poor fielding in the ongoing first Test against England at Headingley, Bumrah, during the post-day conference, said that no player is dropping the catches purposely. 'Nobody is dropping catches purposely—it's part & parcel of the game. People will learn from this experience," Bumrah said. Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped at least three catches in the first innings for India, and Ravindra Jadeja also dropped a simple catch to give Ben Duckett. Bumrah on fire Bumrah picked up five wickets for India in the first innings of the Leeds Test. He finished with figures of 5 for 83 in 24.4 overs, and his fifer in the first innings helped him break multiple bowling records. He became the first Asian bowler to take 150 Test wickets in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries and also equalled R. Ashwin's record of most five-wicket hauls in the WTC. Ashwin played 41 WTC matches for India and picked up 11 fifers, whereas Bumrah has 11 five-wicket hauls to his name in just 36 matches. In addition, Bumrah also became the first Indian bowler to take three five-wicket hauls in England, and he also equalled Kapil Dev's record of 12 five-wicket hauls for India in Test matches played away from home. For India, apart from Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna picked up three wickets on Sunday, and two English batters were sent back to the pavilion by Mohammed Siraj. Ollie Pope top-scored for England in the first innings, and Harry Brook slammed 99 runs from 112 balls. The right-handed batter was unlucky to miss out on a deserving hundred. He became only the second English batter after Marcus Trescothick to get out on 99 in Test cricket against India. First Published: June 22, 2025, 23:33 IST
