With Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the IPL 2023 and the WTC final due to injury, Twitter has come up with a hilarious replacement.

With the cricketer forced to withdraw due to injury, the question is who will replace the star pacer in the lineups for both the national team and the Mumbai Indians. Twitterati appeared to have come up with a hilarious solution to the problem, and they may have found the ideal replacement in Bollywood actor Bobby Deol.
A video of Bobby Deol bowling for the Mumbai Heroes in the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) has gone viral, in which he can be seen bowling medium pace deliveries with an action similar to Jasprit Bumrah. One Twitter user suggested “Lord Bobby Deol should be called in as a replacement for Bumrah by Mumbai Indians”.

It'll be for the first time after 2008 that neither Lasith Malinga nor Bumrah will be part of Mumbai Indians for the IPL season.
Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 due to a back injury. He was rushed back into the squad for the T20I series against Australia at home before the T20 World Cup, and he has not played cricket for the past five months. Bumrah was named to the squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka in January but was forced to withdraw due to illness.
