Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah brought humour to the post-match press conference at Lord’s after Day 2 of the third Test against England. While answering a question about handling pressure and memorable moments, he was briefly interrupted when a journalist’s phone on the table began ringing.
Jasprit Bumrah spearheaded India’s bowling attack at Lord’s. He dismissed key batters Harry Brook, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes. Bumrah earned a place on the iconic Lord’s honours board. He, who missed the previous Test due to workload management, finished with impressive figures of 5 for 74 in 27 overs.
During the press conference after Day 2 of the Lord’s Test, Bumrah was surprised by a reporter’s phone ringing. Bumrah joked, “Somebody’s wife is calling. But I will not pick it up,” leaving the media present in smiles and laughter.
“Till the time I am wearing this jersey, there will be judgement. Obviously, that’s part and parcel of professional sport. You will always be judged by your performance, day in and day out. When Sachin sir played 200 Test matches, he was also still judged…," Bumrah said before being interrupted by a phone call.
“Somebody’s wife is calling…but I will not pick it up. I’ve left it that way," he responded before continuing, “Everybody judges…I forgot the question. Professional sport is like that."

The Most Memorable Test Match for Me Was... - Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah called the 2021 Lord’s Test one of the most memorable moments of his career. He didn’t take a wicket or score in the first innings but played a key role with the bat in the second innings, adding an unbeaten 89-run stand with Mohammed Shami. Bumrah scored 34 runs while Shami added 56.
"I don't think about all that. The most memorable test match for me was in England last time. When Shami Bhai and I won the match with batting, so obviously, I will remember those memories. It is a good thing to come to the Honours Board. When my son grows up, I can tell him that my name is on the Honours Board," Bumrah shared.
