'He is heartbroken'- Fans react as Jasprit Bumrah shares mystifying Instagram story on Hardik Pandya's return

Jasprit Bumrah is the leading pacer of team India. He is currently the best pacer in the world with the ability to swing the ball on both sides with the new ball and can bowl economical spells in the middle overs as well. He has probably the best Yorkers at the death as well. He bowled the most number of dot balls with 372 balls. The pacer was also in the top five wicket-takers list with 20 wickets at an economy of 4.06. 

As per the rumours from the fans, Bumrah was eager to be the captain of the side in the near future when Rohit Sharma would have retired. Now that the star all-rounder has come back to the side he might not be able to lead the side any time soon. Pandya as a skipper in his first year led the Gujarat Titans (GT) to their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title. 

Bumrah's story captioned, "Silence is sometimes the best answer." Bumrah is unhappy with the management's decision. He has the experience of leading the national side in the test as well when senior players were absent in England. 

Was Jasprit Bumrah in contention to become MI captain?

MI's statement on announcing Pandya stated, "We are thrilled to welcome Hardik back home! It’s a heartwarming reunion with our Mumbai Indians family! From being a young scouted talent of Mumbai Indians to now being a team India star, Hardik has come a long way and we’re excited for what the future holds for him and Mumbai Indians!" 

The star all-rounder as stated, "When I look back, the whole span of 10 years has been something very special. It has not sunk in yet that I’m finally back where my whole cricketing journey started. I have achieved all the possible things. They have been the most important part of my life. Special bond with Akash and the family, they have been through my thick and thin. It is much more emotional because it feels like I’m coming back to my home, my family where it all started."

I mean Bumrah doesn't look like someone who cares for captaincy. The guy is a gem. So this story is not related to news of him not getting captaincy, he is just hurt after the world Cup loses.

Fight for next captain. Things getting interesting.

Look like Bumrah is upset with Mumbai Indians franchise. He deserves to be captain of MI after Rohit but MI has given captaincy to the player who make fun of Mumbai Indians last year

What is cooking inside bumrah 🥲🤔?

Seems like everything not well with Mumbai Indians and only MI's management is responsible for it.

Bumrah would've wanted to captain the side.

Ishan was also growing into a mature MI player and was forseeing captaincy.
