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.

Bro, I wish it was some, I seriously do. But I am seeing it across Twitter, other Reddit posts and even a couple of my friends who I thought understood cricket well.

I haven't seen it anywhere. Maybe I don't follow/like idiots.

That might be true but the fact that Sachin had to say this clearly says that there are a lot of detractors out there
