India crushed South Africa by 101 runs in the first T20I. Suryakumar Yadav’s team, batting first, scored 175/6 and then bundled out the African team for just 74 runs.
Hardik Pandya’s blistering 59* and the bowling attack made the match one-sided.
But the real fun came in the commentary box, where Aakash Chopra, while praising Jasprit Bumrah, taunted Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan so much that fans went wild with laughter.
Viral Chopra’s Sarcasm
During South Africa’s innings, Aiden Markram hit a six off Bumrah’s over. Then Aakash Chopra said in live commentary:
“It’s not that easy to hit a six off Bumrah. If it ever hits you, some people make a documentary.”
This was a direct dig at Sahibzada Farhan. Farhan hit two sixes off Bumrah in the Asia Cup, and afterward, a short documentary was made in Pakistan praising him.
Farhan himself frequently shares those clips on social media. Chopra, without naming him, completely trolled Farhan.
Bumrah continues to set record after record
In this match, Bumrah set another major record by dismissing Dewald Brevis. He became the first Indian and only the fifth bowler in the world to take 100 wickets in all three formats (Test, ODI, and T20). Besides him, only Malinga, Saudi, Shakib, and Shaheen Afridi have achieved this feat.
The next T20 match will be held in Mullanpur on December 12th. The Indian team is leading 1-0, and people are hoping to see the fun combo of Bumrah and Chopra again.
