Three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday posted a video on Thursday to highlight how its ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is preparing himself ahead of the 12th edition of the tournament.

Bumrah is one of the key players for MI which is aiming to leapfrog Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to win a record fourth title. He has been extremely successful ever since making his debut for the franchise.

In the video, Bumrah can be seen arriving at the pre-season camp at the Wankhede stadium. He got himself going with a few stretches, which was followed by bowling practice aiming at just one stump.

While the whole video was about how Bumrah was practicing, the Twitterati picked up on something which they felt was rude from the player's part.
