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?

The tailender thing is nonsense and only applies to this series too, because I distinctly remember him making the entire Aussie top 6 his bitch in the BGT

One series with flat pitches where he didn't average below 20 and now everyone's at his throat
