In the dynamic world of cricket, emotions often run high, and reactions on social media can be as unpredictable as the game itself. Recently, the cricketing fraternity witnessed a historic moment as Jasprit Bumrah became the first Indian pacer to claim the top spot in the ICC Test Bowling Rankings. While the cricketing world was abuzz with congratulatory messages, Bumrah’s response on social media stirred up a storm, leading to a Twitter roast that had fans talking.
Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational rise to the top
Bumrah’s journey to the pinnacle of Test bowling rankings was nothing short of spectacular. His sensational nine-wicket haul against England in the second Test of the series in Vizag not only secured his place at the top but also played a pivotal role in India’s comprehensive victory. The achievement marked several records, including being the first Indian pacer to claim the top spot in Tests and only the fourth Indian bowler overall to achieve this feat. However, amidst the celebration, a subtle storm was brewing on social media.
Bumrah shares a cryptic Instagram story for fans
As fans flooded social media with congratulatory messages, Bumrah took to Instagram to share his unfiltered reaction. In a cryptic Instagram story, he posted an image of an empty stadium with the text ‘The Support’ overlaid, contrasting it with a packed stadium overlaid with ‘The Congratulations’ text. This seemingly indirect dig at fans who had trolled him during his low phase sparked a heated exchange on social media.

Bumrah’s low phase and fans’ response
Last year, Bumrah faced significant criticism and trolling for missing important tournaments due to injury. Sarcastic memes and comments questioning his commitment circulated widely on social media. The Instagram story appeared to be Bumrah’s way of addressing those who had not supported him during challenging times but were quick to offer congratulations now.
Fan backlash and criticism
Nevertheless, Bumrah’s strong message through his Instagram story didn’t go down well with the fans. Many took to social media to express their disappointment with Bumrah’s apparent lack of appreciation for the support he receives. Some argued that criticism comes with the territory of being a top athlete, while others highlighted the resilience shown by other cricketing legends in the face of adversity.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Another insecure cricketer ever…
Bro you didn’t got support, coz you didn’t played WT20 and missed out international cricket for 06 months

He shouldn’t have shared it by the way.

People even trolled Virat a lot when he was not scoring centuries and was in bad form but he did not create such a story about getting in form. This is Bumrah’s arrogance speaking. A successful person will have to listen to both criticism and criticism.

I will support when he is not injured in an ICC Event and if he chooses to opt out of the IPL for Rest and Recuperation like Aussie Seamers.

India population is 1.40 billion people so can’t expect everyone will be same .
Fan will support you and criticize at the same time and they have right too.
These shows how much you listen social media noise which is not good for your game.

I didn’t understand this, why? Why would he post this… maybe just because the trolls were up their haunches for the past year when he was injured. But it doesn’t make sense to me
— Lavish Goyal (@lavishG10) February 8, 2024
Ppl still stand for what they said earlier & they were right u guys miss out intl cricket but goes through with injury in ipl by hiding it & then u go under the knife by missing intl cricket.
No one would even miss ipl for any personal reasons but do same for intl matches.

I mean the guy picks & choses which series he wants to play. He has played 34 tests…Has been in the top tier contract for years.
Hardly ever skipped IPL. When injured has gotten free world medical treatment and been away from int cricket. Nt sure what more support does he want.— Babu Hindustani (@boomshankar07) February 8, 2024
There are dozens of sportsmen and women who don’t get recognized even after winning! Sometimes Ppl don’t realize what they have ! #Bumrah #INDvENG https://t.co/iwLMlIuCak
