However, the cricketer himself clarified on the matter by posting a story in Instagram. He sarcastically trolled everyone for not understanding about lights and shadows. In his story, the cricketer wrote “Fun fact: The understanding of lights and shadows isn’t common these days. Hope people recover from it soon,”
Check out the screenshot of his story here :
Well, that’s a fitting reply to those who criticized his dressing without realizing the fact. Meanwhile India defeated West Indies comprehensively in the T20I and ODI series and will be hopeful of continuing their winning run in the Test series. While Bumrah will be a certain starter in the first Test, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav will be fighting for the remaining two slots if Kohli opts to play three regular pacers and a full-time spinner in the absence of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is not a part of the Test squad. Bumrah is currently the number one Test bowler and is coming into the series on the back of a stellar World Cup campaign.
