'If You Stop And Throw Stones At...': Jasprit Bumrah Posts Cryptic Message For Critics
Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia due to a back injury.
Star Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah will not be taking part in the upcoming T20 World Cup that will take place in Australia. He has been ruled out of the marquee tournament due to a back injury.
The BCCI confirmed the development in an official statement, while mentioning that a replacement will be named soon. "The BCCI Medical team has ruled out Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists," BCCI said in a statement.
Ever since the news broke, fans have been criticising Bumrah for missing out on national duties despite being available for his IPL franchise Mumbai Indians.
Bumrah has played 14 matches for his Indian Premier League franchise, Mumbai Indians, and has donned the Indian jersey in a total of 15 matches across formats this year.
In an apparent jibe at his critics, the ace Indian pacer took to his Instagram handle and posted a quote of Winston Churchill that read, "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks."
