Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah created a buzz on social media with his witty response during a press conference at the Gabba. Known primarily for his bowling, Bumrah humorously addressed a journalist's question about his batting prowess.

When asked to assess the Indian team's batting despite his limited credentials as a batsman, Bumrah cheekily replied, "You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over."

The remark, referencing Bumrah's record-breaking 35-run over against Stuart Broad, was meant in jest but quickly became a talking point online. Bumrah later clarified, "But, jokes apart. That's another story."

Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk Join the Fun

Google CEO Sundar Pichai, a self-confessed cricket enthusiast, was quick to react. Sharing the clip on X (formerly Twitter), Pichai admitted, "I did Google it." Praising Bumrah, he added, "Anyone who can hook Cummins for a six knows how to bat! Well done, Jasprit Bumrah, saving the follow-on with Deep!"

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk joined the conversation with a concise "Nice." The exchange didn't stop there. Pichai suggested they watch a South Africa vs. India match someday, proposing iconic venues like Newlands or Wanderers.

Fans on X were thrilled by the exchange. Many celebrated Bumrah's witty comeback as one of his finest moments, alongside his iconic 35-run over and a six against Pat Cummins. Others lauded Pichai's love for cricket, with one fan calling him a "true Test cricket aficionado."

Google India joined the excitement, tweeting, "I only believe in Jassi Bhai," a nod to Bumrah's batting achievements. The tech giant also shared a Google search interface screenshot showing Bumrah as India's most successful bowler in Australia, surpassing Kapil Dev with 52 wickets.

The interaction between two of the tech world's biggest names over Bumrah highlights his global appeal. Bumrah's playful "Google it" moment certainly amused fans on a global stage, fueled by tech leaders and social media buzz.
