During a recent press conference held after Day 3 of the Gabba Test between India and Australia, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah humorously addressed a question regarding his batting prowess. When a reporter insinuated that Bumrah might not be the best person to assess India’s batting capabilities, given his status as a bowler, Bumrah returned the banter with a suggestion to “Google my record.”

Bumrah’s cheeky response revolved around the notion that research on the internet could provide more information regarding who possesses the record for the most runs in a single Test over. This playful exchange caught the attention of many, including Google India, which decided to join in on the fun.

Google India reacted by posting a witty tweet stating, “I only believe in Jassi Bhai.” This interaction between Bumrah’s jest and Google’s engaging reply received notable attention and amusement from cricket fans and followers on social media platforms.

Adding to the context of the match, the fourth day saw Bumrah contribute significantly with the bat. He established a crucial 39-run partnership with Akash Deep, which was instrumental for India in avoiding the follow-on scenario. This effort illustrated Bumrah’s versatility and ability to contribute important runs when required, alongside the contributions from teammates KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 84 and 77 runs, respectively.

This amusing episode not only highlights the interactive dynamics between athletes and popular brands like Google but also underscores the lighter side of competitive sports where humor and camaraderie often find a place amidst intense matches.
