On November 28, Jasprit Bumrah stirred the online community with a mysterious Instagram story that read, "Silence is sometimes the best answer." While the context remained unclear, fans swiftly linked it to Hardik Pandya's move back to Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians officially announced the trade, acquiring Hardik from Gujarat Titans for a substantial 15 crore on November 27. Speculations arose that Bumrah might be dissatisfied with the development, with reports suggesting he even unfollowed MI on Instagram.

Reacting to Bumrah's cryptic post, Krishnamachari Srikkanth shared his perspective, suggesting that Bumrah could be hurt by Hardik's trade. Srikkanth acknowledged Bumrah's unique standing as a cricketer excelling in both Tests and white-ball formats. Having played a pivotal role in the recent World Cup and even captaining the Test side during the 2022 series against England, Bumrah might be grappling with mixed emotions.
