When reports began to circulate that Bumrah would play directly in the IPL after missing the majority of international cricket, some social media trolls targeted him and questioned his patriotism.
Some claim he prefers his IPL team, the Mumbai Indians, to Team India, while others claim he is simply looking for easy money by playing in the IPL and avoiding international games.
However, the most recent update on Bumrah’s injury has driven his detractors underground. Fans of Bumrah took to Twitter to condemn the social media trolls who hide behind anonymous names and spout nonsense about sports stars.
While the possibility of Bumrah missing the World Test Championship final is bad news for Indian cricket fans, it is good that he will no longer be subjected to unnecessary trolling from haters.
