The fact that someone like Sachin has to come out in the support of Bumrah shows how far we've fallen as a fanbase. A player with a test average of 19.8 (Yes, FUCKING 19.8) in 48 matches is getting trolled. Why? Because India won a few matches in which he didn't play. We don't deserve Bumrah at all. Insufferable fanbase!

Thank you for stating this even if it’s so obvious, it’s not even like he broke down unexpectedly. He was supposed to play 3 matches, he fucking played 3 matches. Our fanbase truly sucks and it’s things like these that make me lose all hope in the future of our country.

To add on even further our of the 3 matches he averaged low even with that 100 run yield in OT and took two 5 fers in 2 games in one game he was let down by abysmal fielding and in the other by a sudden top order collapse for what was an easily chaseable target I genuinely don’t get how the hate for him comes from it’s not like we lost the 3rd match he played
