‘Monkey…’ – Isa Guha Accused of Making Racist Comment on Jasprit Bumrah During IND vs AUS 3rd Test
Isa Guha’s controversial “primate” comment about Jasprit Bumrah sparks backlash.
On Sunday, former England cricketer Isa Guha made a controversial comment about India’s fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, during the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia at the Gabba. Guha’s statement quickly became a topic of discussion and drew criticism from fans.
Bumrah had a great start to the match, picking up two quick wickets in the first half-hour of Day 2. His performance was praised by Australia legend Brett Lee, who said, “Bumrah, today: five overs, 2-4. So, that’s the tone, and that’s what you want from the ex-skipper.” However, Guha responded with a remark that caught many by surprise. She referred to Bumrah as a “primate,” saying, “Well, he’s the MVP, isn’t he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah.”
