Jasprit Bumrah faced criticism for not checking on Abhinav Manohar after the latter was struck by a fast delivery from him. Bumrah’s return to action in IPL 2025 has seen Mumbai Indians (MI) secure three consecutive wins. However, the 31-year-old pacer came under scrutiny for his on-field conduct during the match between MI and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). After Manohar hit him for a six, Bumrah responded with a fast, near waist-high full toss that struck the batter, causing him to collapse to the ground. Despite this, Bumrah walked back to his mark without offering any concern for Manohar’s condition, a move that was criticized by fans.
Bowling the 13th over, Bumrah was hit for a six by Manohar on the second delivery. On the very next ball, Bumrah aimed for a yorker, but it turned into a full toss that struck Manohar, sending him crashing to the ground.
However, instead of checking on Manohar, Bumrah simply walked back to his mark.
Sorry to say but bumrah is not a sport.

Observed it multiples times now
When someone hits him up specially sixes, he gets angry towards that player. Previously karun, now manohar, after full toss did not even bother to check on him, because he had hit a six off him. #SRHvsMI
I think Jasprit Bumrah should've checked on the Abhinav Manohar instead of just turning and walking away. Do all bowlers usually react like this or Bumrah only ?#SRHvMI #MIvSRH #SRHvsMI pic.twitter.com/zQ61LTUs8k

Bumrah not even bothering after hitting Manohar, not even a look back. It’s basic human thing to check .

Went on to fight with Karun Nair when he got smashed all over the ground .
May he is not that great if a human as he seems to be.
