Jasprit Bumrah in Mumbai Indians (Image Credit: Twitter)
India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has posted cryptic Instagram stories which has left the fans guessing. Ahead of the IPL 2024 player auction, he was retained by the Mumbai Indians which doesn't come as a surprise. Bumrah has been part of the team since the 2013 season. Even ahead of the mega auctions in 2014, 2018, and 2022, the right-arm pacer has been retained by the team.

Meanwhile, the India player posted a story that has left the fans guessing. There have been many theories thrown in by the fans.
Mumbai Indians
Retained Players: Akash Madhwal, Arjun Tendulkar, Hardik Pandya (T), Dewald Brevis, Ishan Kishan, Jason Behrendorff, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya Singh, N. Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Piyush Chawla, Rohit Sharma, Romario Shepherd (T), Shams Mulani, Surya Kumar Yadav, Tim David, Vishnu Vinod
Released Players: Chris Jordan, Duan Jansen, Hrithik Shokeen, Jhye Richardson, Jofra Archer, Mohd. Arshad Khan, Raghav Goyal, Ramandeep Singh, Roley Meredith, Sandeep Warrier, Tristan Stubbs
Jasprit Bumrah didn't play in the IPL 2023
The Gujarat player didn't play in the last season of the cash-rich league due to a back injury. Last September, he was ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Since then, the team decided not to rush him back into the team. In January this year, the five-time IPL winner went through a surgery in New Zealand. This led to him missing the home series against the likes of New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Australia.
Apart from this, Bumrah missed out of the IPL 2023 season in April-May this year. Ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 in August-September, Bumrah made his comeback and the team won the tournament. In the recently concluded ODI World Cup 2023, the team lost the final.
This is how Twitter reacted
Bumrah is not happy with Rohit Sharma being disrespected by the Mumbai Indians.

Bumrah was promised captaincy after rohit but now pandya came from nowhere. MI is no more one family. Its divided into many.

These days cricketers don't have mental strength to tackle the criticism so they chose to answer using insta story😂

India lost a World Cup Final at home in front of 1,30,000 people under Rohit Sharma's captaincy on 19th November 2023.

Telling silence is the best answer is the best answer not silence

Bumrah is not happy it seems. Captaincy?
— Taurus (@itz_chillax) November 28, 2023
Hardik Pandya came, SKY is also there
When Deepak Chahar gone for 14Cr he laughed and he might have gone for higher price if MI released him instead of Hardik Pandya in that auction
He wants to be Captain of MI after Rohit

Unfair on Boom Boom.

Hardik was already a successful captain for Gujarat Titans.
It could have been a win win for both with Hardik Pandya captain of Gujarat Titans and Jasprit Bumrah of Mumbai Indians but the powers that be wanted this to be a Saas Bahu drama soap 🤐🤦🏼♂️
