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!

Ugly people exist. And in this attention economy, negative content means more engagement.
