Muted at least 4 Indian cricket subreddits today talking about Bumrah. I love how Bumrah goes about his life without bothering for fans or fame because he knows they'll turn toxic at any moment. I always thought that was a great move on his part.

Tbh, most of this toxicity started when he didn't call Kohli the fittest player in the team and instead named himself. Then a section of Koach's worst fans turned on him and since then, he has been micro-analysed like anything. Ridiculous stats like him being effective only against the tail-enders are being brought up. What kind of match are these fucks even watching?

And the whole tail enders thing is ridiculous because in this era tail enders are really difficult to get out and England have a really deep batting line up Carse and Atkinson will probably be no 8 for a decent number of teams
