Jasprit Bumrah, a Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer, chuckled off a fan’s comment about his teammate Reece Topley ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against the SunRisers Hyderabad. The tournament’s 33rd match between the two sides is scheduled for Thursday, April 17, at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
Following MI’s practice on Tuesday, April 15, supporters swarmed behind the vehicle that was transporting Bumrah and Topley. Bumrah laughed when one of the supporters made a funny remark. Through X, the fan stated:
“Oh Topley bhai, you want chai (tea)? You need Mumbai chai?”
"Oh topley bhay you want chai, you need Mumbai chai"🤣😂
