Pant, Bumrah Apologised After Saying Something In Their Language About Me, Says Bavuma
World Test Championship: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has revealed that India duo of Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah apologised to him after making remarks in their own language during the first Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Bavuma, who captained South Africa to 2-0 Test series win over India, noted that while such words are not easily forgotten, he harbours no ill will. A stump mic incident during day one’s play caught Bumrah and Pant referring to Bavuma as ‘bauna’ while appealing for an lbw off him in the 14th over.
The term is generally used for people suffering from dwarfism, but can be deemed offensive when directed at individuals of short stature. “A series against India is always going to be intense, and when it's heated, it makes it even more of a spectacle and motivates the players further.
