Jasprit Bumrah sledge temba bavuma: The first day of the Kolkata Test was entirely in the name of Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. In the first test match being played between India and South Africa, Bumrah wreaked havoc with the ball. For the first time on this historic ground, Jasprit destroyed the African batting lineup with the ball and took five wickets. But due to one mistake of his, he has become a topic of discussion on social media. He is seen laughing evilly while using abusive words for African captain Temba Bavuma. The threat of punishment by ICC is also looming over him.
Bumrah made a mistake in the 13th over of the innings.
Although right-arm fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is seen giving a befitting reply to his opponents with his bowling on the cricket field, he does not use objectionable words against any player. But he got booked in the Kolkata Test, which hardly any cricket fan would have guessed. This incident was seen on the last ball of the 13th over of the innings. After this, Bumrah talked about taking lessons with Indian captain Shubman Gill and other players.
Jasprit Bumrah called Temba a dwarf
When Jasprit Bumrah was talking about taking DRS with his teammates, he mentioned the stature of the South African captain. The word ‘dwarf’ came out of his mouth. Along with Jaspreet, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant also agreed. But Bumrah did not just speak once, he also mentioned the same word again and also used abuses. This statement coming out of his mouth was captured in the stump mic, after which it spread wildly on social media. Now this matter can go to ICC and strict action can be taken against them.

Breach of ICC Code of Conduct
The kind of words used by the Indian fast bowler come in violation of the ICC Court of Conduct. Article 2.13 of the ICC Code of Conduct is specifically relevant to this issue, which deals with the use of abusive language towards players, support staff, umpires and match referees during any international match. There are various types of punishments for this violation. During this period, players can be imposed with anything ranging from reprimand to fine. The most important link in this is the demerit point of the players, which remains in their account for 24 months.
How much punishment will Jasprit Bumrah get?
If ICC finds Jasprit Bumrah guilty, his matches will again be reduced by 20 to 50%. Apart from this, they may also have to suffer the consequences of two demerit points. Not only this, they may also have to be banned in future. Earlier in the Asia Cup, Jaspreet had got one demerit point due to one of his wrong actions. Under ICC rules, if a player gets four demerit points in a year, they are converted into suspension points and after that the player is banned for one Test, two ODIs or two T20 Internationals.
