Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah has firmly dismissed recent media reports about his health, labeling them as “fake news.” The fast bowler took to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to address the speculations and clarify his condition.
In his post, Jasprit Bumrah stated, “I know how easy it is to spread fake news, but the reports about my health are completely baseless. Reading such news about myself genuinely made me laugh.”
The clarification comes in response to widespread rumors circulating in the Indian media. Reports had suggested that Bumrah, who recently captained India in the final Test of the Australia series, was on bed rest due to a recurring back issue. The reports further claimed that his recovery progress was slow, and he would not be rushing his return to international cricket.
This isn’t the first time Bumrah’s fitness has been the subject of speculation. The fast bowler sustained a back injury during the Sydney Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Since then, media outlets have frequently published updates about his recovery, many of which have turned out to be inaccurate.
Bumrah’s response on social media highlights his frustration with the spread of misinformation and aims to reassure fans who have been eagerly awaiting his return to cricket. Despite facing past injuries, Bumrah has consistently demonstrated resilience and a commitment to bouncing back stronger.
While rumors about his health continue to surface, Bumrah’s statement puts to rest any immediate concerns, leaving fans hopeful for his swift return to the field. For now, the cricketing world awaits an official update on the pacer’s comeback.
