Jasprit Bumrah Parts Ways with Virat Kohli, Seeks Rohit Sharma's Camaraderie; Fans Dub Him 'OG Ro kiddo'

Bumrah began the match with an impressive display, delivering three consecutive maiden overs that had Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan struggling to read his variations. Throughout his nine-over spell with the new ball, Bumrah forced Hasan to play 22 false shots and beat him six times. Despite his brilliant bowling, Bumrah was unlucky not to pick up any wickets with his exceptional deliveries.

Away from his on-field misfortune, Bumrah became a talking point on social media after a video of him from the Kanpur Test went viral with fans claiming that he is the "OG Ro kid." In the 29-second clip, Bumrah is seen walking alongside Virat Kohli after bad light resulted in Day 1 play being halted during the final session. However, the pacer snubbed the former India captain, and then turned around to find skipper Rohit Sharma. He then walked up to him and was seen in deep discussion as they walked towards the dug out, with Rishabh Pant joining as well.

It was under Rohit's captaincy that Bumrah made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013 for Mumbai Indians after being scouted by former India head coach John Wright, who was then in charge of the franchise with a similar role. Bumrah helped Mumbai lift the IPL title in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, taking 165 wickets in 133 appearances.

In the national team, where he made his debut in 2016, Bumrah played under Rohit 54 times, which included their T20 World Cup-winning partnership earlier this year in June.
