Bumrah in Airport Altercation with Fan Over Selfie
New Delhi, India – Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah was caught on video in a heated exchange with a fan at an airport earlier this week. The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, appears to have been sparked by the fan attempting to take a selfie with Bumrah without his permission.
According to reports, the fan continued filming even after Bumrah asked him to stop, leading to the cricketer grabbing the phone. In the video, Bumrah can be heard warning the fan about potential damage to the device.
The incident occurred as Bumrah was participating in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa. While he played in the first two matches, claiming two wickets in the first, he missed the third game due to personal reasons, according to the BCCI.
The series is currently in India’s favor, with the final match scheduled to be played at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
The incident raises further questions about the boundaries between celebrities and fans and the right to privacy in public spaces. Authorities have yet to comment on the matter.
