Mummy theek hai? Jasprit Bumrah reveals what he asked Sam Konstas | Cricket News

Jasprit Bumrah revealed what he asked Sam Konstas during their altercation in the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“Pata nahi isme to aapko kuch aur lag raha hoga, main to usse puch raha tha ki ‘sab theek hai? Mummy theek hai, ghar par sab theek hai? (‘I don’t know what you guys are thinking but I mainly asked him, ‘Is everything okay?’ Is your mother fine, is everything at home fine?’)” Bumrah said at a promotional event.
“Usne bola ‘haan theek hai’ to maine bola ‘Acha theek hai ab ball daal deta hoon.’ Aap logo ne kuch aur interpret kar liya hoga. I think udhar words nahi the to maybe miscommunication ho gaya hoga. (He said ‘Yes, it’s fine?’ to which I said ‘Now, I will bowl’. You guys must have interpreted it some thing else. I think the lack of words may have caused some miscommunication).
“Incidents like these happen when the game is close.

“We were wasting some time, they were trying to do it as well. We were trying to put some pressure.
“But, that’s not the best example. I am not angry all the time but sometimes, it happens,” he added.
During the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Jasprit Bumrah who was on the receiving end of some unconventional shots from debutant Sam Konstas which included 2 sixes, said that he felt that in the initial stages he could have dismissed the Aussie 6-7 times in the first couple of overs.
“Interesting batsman (Konstas) as well and I always felt I was in the game, I never felt I am far away from a wicket. Initially I felt I could have got him out 6-7 times in the first two overs but that’s how cricket goes, some days it pays off, it looks good, some days if it doesn’t you might be criticising the same person,” Bumrah said in an interaction with Channel 7.Story continues below this ad
