'You will never reach your destination if...': Jasprit Bumrah takes subtle dig at critics

Team India’s major concern ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup is undoubtedly the absence of the frontline pacer, Jasprit Bumrah. The right-arm pacer has been suffering from injury issues for quite some time. Previously, he missed the Asia Cup due to a back injury. Later, he returned to the squad for the preparatory series against Australia and South Africa on home soil after undergoing months of rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He donned the Indian kit again during the Australia series but again had to be sidelined for a back stress fracture during a practice session in the penultimate hour before the South Africa series.

After coming to know about the major blow, Indian fans could not help but be disappointed as they are well aware of Bumrah’s role in the World Cup side, especially when the event is set to be held on Australian pitches. Following the matter, social media platforms saw numerous posts regarding Bumrah missing out on another international assignment.

Now, Bumrah has come up with a response to the criticism. Taking to his personal Instagram, the senior pacer shared a note that reads, “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” The story no doubt reflects the disappointment of Bumrah who has provided a lot of match-winning performances for India.

As the Indian unit has already departed for Australia, Bumrah penned a special post for the side on his Twitter account. He wrote, “I am gutted that I won’t be a part of the T20 World Cup this time, but thankful for the wishes, care and support I’ve received from my loved ones. As I recover, I’ll be cheering on the team through their campaign in Australia.”
