Jasprit Bumrah has been going through a rough patch of form, and that name has been used by detractors to troll him instead. Sehwag immediately corrected himself, but the incident has left a bad impression on everyone.
In 11 matches, he has taken just 3 wickets at a bowling average of 116.33. By league standards, his economy rate of 8.51 looks decent on paper, but his lack of wicket-taking has hurt the other bowlers in his team significantly.
Virender Sehwag calls Bumrah "Chumrah" on air
"If we talk about the first match, they chased the target of 221 against KKR; since then, their bowling has not performed. Even in that match, their bowling did not do well, because they gave away 220. But, because they won while chasing, people felt that they were a good team," he said.
"I would especially talk about Jasprit Bumrah. If he takes some wickets with the new ball or in the death overs, he creates pressure. Now, he is not giving away runs, but he's not taking any wickets either. And from the other end, runs are flowing, but the wickets are not falling. So, I think the bowling has let Mumbai down more than the batting," he concluded.

Prabhsimran Singh made an unbeaten 80 to lead his team home. Arshdeep Singh was the player of the match for his three-wicket spell with the new ball. In that match, Jasprit Bumrah had conceded 41 runs in 4 overs without taking any wickets.
