Lol did Bumrah really say he was the fitted player in the team? Was he joking or was he serious?

Half-joking. Basically went - I know the name you are looking for, but I would like to put forward my name.

Talked a little more about fitness required to be a fast bowler and said that he would always reply with a fast bowlers name.

He’s not wrong either. It Is physically the hardest job. Make Kohli bowl 187 overs like Siraj did this series and his body would break down

Unfortunately, like all big Indian stars, Kohli has quite a few fans with cult-like mentality as well. Who become pissy if others don't worship him too.
