India vs South Africa Test series ended with India losing 2–0. But more than results, on-field words created controversy
During an LBW appeal discussion, Jasprit Bumrah was caught on the stump mic saying ‘Bauna bhi hai ye' (‘He’s short too’) while deciding on DRS for Temba Bavuma, and the clip went viral.
After the match, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant apologized to Bavuma. Bumrah later admitted the words were said in the heat of the moment
Temba Bavuma finally reacted, saying: “What happens on the field should stay on the field.” But he admitted such moments can’t be fully forgotten
Bavuma said incidents like this can be used as inspiration. He chose to move on after understanding the full situation
South Africa coach Shukri Conrad’s remarks also sparked debate. Bavuma felt the words were harsh but said the issue was closed during the ODI series
