Jasprit Bumrah, Sanju Samson in banter ahead of MI vs RR clash: Want my name on the bat sticker
India Today
IPL 2022: Jasprit Bumrah and Sanju Samson were involved in banter as they caught up during a training session at the DY Patil Stadium ahead of Mumbai Indians' highly-anicipated clash against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.
It's no secret that Jasprit Bumrah takes pride in his batting ability. From being a walking wicket, Bumrha has come a long way, offering resistance with the bat lower down the order, especially in Test matches. It was evident in the way Bumrah hit an unbeaten 34 and stitched an 89-run stand with fellow lower-order batter Mohammed Shami in the famous Lord's Test last year.
Bumrah does spend a lot of time batting at the nets and the Mumbai Indians pacer was joking about his batting prowess in banter with Sanju Samson ahead of their second IPL 2022 game against Rajasthan Royals at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
Bumrah and Samson, who were training on the eve of the match, caught up for a chat and Bumrah joked that he was planning to get his name on his bat sticker soon. The India pacer and the Rajasthan Royals captain broke into laughter right after Bumrh's comment in a video tha has been shared by the Rajasthan Royals.
"I want my name to be on my bat sticker, I have won a Test match with the bat, that's it," Bumrah joked.
"JB," Samson responded before the banter continued at their training session.
