NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah’s cheeky ‘search it’ remark, made while flaunting his batting skills, drew a witty response from Google, adding a humorous twist to the viral moment.
Bumrah, who shared an unbeaten 39-run stand for the 10th wicket with Akash Deep to help India avoid follow-on on Tuesday, showcased his batting capabilities just 24 hours after highlighting his batting achievements during a media interaction following the third day’s play at the Gabba.

At stumps on Day 4, Akash Deep remained not out at 27 while Bumrah held firm at 10. The last-wicket partnership helped India reach 252 for nine, trailing Australia’s first innings total of 445 by 193 runs.
When questioned by a journalist about his evaluation of India’s batting performance considering the Gabba conditions, the Indian fast bowler ensured to mention his remarkable batting accomplishment. He continues to hold the distinction of scoring the highest runs in a single Test over – 35 runs against Stuart Broad.
Reporter: “Hi, Jasprit. What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?”
Bumrah: “It’s an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That’s another story.”
Following Bumrah’s impressive batting performance on Tuesday, Google India shared a post on their X platform stating, “I only believe in Jassi Bhai”
The playful exchange highlighted how Bumrah’s witty humour has captivated fans and even caught the attention of tech giants. The lighthearted moment became a social media hit, further enhancing the charm of Bumrah’s on-field brilliance and off-field personality.
