Jasprit Bumrah’s Shocking Comment to Umpire After Losing Review in IND vs WI Match
The second Test between India and the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi witnessed a striking moment on Day 4. Jasprit Bumrah made a fervent LBW appeal against John Campbell that ended without success, leaving India fans disappointed.
Key Moments of the Match
India had enforced the follow-on, but they struggled to break through the determined West Indies batting order. The notable incident occurred during the fifth ball of the 55th over, where Bumrah bowled a fast delivery aimed at Campbell.

- Location: Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi
- Umpire: Richard Illingworth

Bumrah’s LBW Appeal
Bumrah’s sharp delivery hit Campbell on the pads as he attempted a drive. The umpire’s decision was a firm no, prompting India to initiate a review. They hoped technology would vindicate their claim.
However, the UltraEdge technology detected a minor spike as the ball approached both the bat and the pad. Consequently, the third umpire upheld the original not-out call, indicating an inside edge had occurred.
Campbell’s Resilient Performance
Following the review, Bumrah walked back with a blend of amusement and frustration. As he passed Illingworth, he quipped, “You know it’s out. But the technology can’t prove it,” which elicited laughter from the commentary box.
This light-hearted moment contrasted sharply with the tension on the field. Despite India’s rigorous attempts to secure a wicket, the West Indies batsmen showed impressive resilience.
By the end of Day 4, Campbell had scored an impressive 94 runs off 172 balls, while Shai Hope contributed significantly with 73 off 124 balls. Their partnership proved crucial in frustrating the Indian bowlers.
Conclusion
Bumrah’s witty comment exemplified the humor that can emerge even in high-pressure situations. The day showcased both the competitive spirit of Test cricket and the light moments that often accompany it. The West Indies’ batting performance further solidified their defiance against India’s bowling attack.
