Jasprit Bumrah's bold declaration of being the fittest Indian cricketer ignites online feud between his supporters and Virat Kohli's loyalists

Sridhar recently shared in an interview, "It's just a small part of your life, so why not give it your all?" His words hold so much wisdom that many could benefit from. He seems to be from another world, as his energy and positive attitude are simply remarkable. Even when jokingly asked if he was from Krypton, he maintained that infectious smile. His ability to inspire others is truly awe-inspiring.

However, Kohli's teammate, Jasprit Bumrah, put his name forward when asked about the fittest cricketer in the Indian dressing room during a recent event, a video of which went viral on social media.

Knowing that the person asking the question was seeking 'Kohli' as the response, Bumrah, with a cheeky twist to his reply, and reasoning it well, said: “I know the answer you are searching for, but I would like to say my name, because I am a fast bowler. I have been playing for while...and being a fast bowler and playing in this country in the beat takes a lot of requirements. So I will always promote a fast bowler.”

The response from Bumrah did receive applause from the crowd, but it sparked a war on social media between fans of the fast bowler and Kohli. While those in support of Bumrah reckoned that "owned Kohli," the other group of fans called out the India star for his “arrogance.”

The two India stars, who together played a vital role in India's T20 World Cup trophy win in June, will be back in action in Test cricket with the two-match series against Bangladesh next week. This will be Kohli's first contest since the ODI series against Sri Lanka, while Bumrah will be making a comeback after being rested since the World Cup.

The two, along with the rest of the Indian team picked for the Test series, assembled in Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday for a training camp. Kohli batted for close to 45 minutes in the nets, and pace spearhead Bumrah bowled full tilt.
