Jasprit Bumrah's on-field intensity is well known, but his off-field humor caught everyone off guard at a recent event. When asked about his exchange with Australian youngster Sam Konstas during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Bumrah delivered a response that left fans and media in stitches. Bumrah said with a mischievous smile, "I was just checking on him. I asked, 'Is everything okay at home? Is your mom fine? Is everything alright?' He said yes, so I told him, 'Okay, then I'll bowl now.' Maybe you all saw something else, but that’s all it was!" The crowd burst into laughter as former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, who posed the question, shook his head in amusement. Bumrah further explained that such moments occur in high-pressure matches. "These things happen when the game is tight. We were trying to put some pressure, they were doing the same. But honestly, I’m not always angry; sometimes it just happens."

Without saying another word, he turned to the young batter, letting his performance do the talking. His teammates erupted in celebration while Konstas stood there, perhaps realizing that sledging Bumrah might not be the best idea.
