NEW DELHI: Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah ’s impressive opening-day spell in the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens was overshadowed by a controversial on-field exchange involving South African captain Temba Bavuma that quickly went viral on social media. Bumrah had already removed openers Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton when he believed he had trapped Bavuma leg-before. The on-field umpire turned down the appeal, prompting a discussion between Bumrah and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant over whether to opt for the Decision Review System (DRS). During the chat, either Bumrah or Pant was allegedly heard referring to Bavuma as “bauna” (short or dwarf), a remark that triggered widespread attention and debate online.
