In a lighthearted moment during the first Test between India and South Africa, Jasprit Bumrah was caught making a humorous remark about South African skipper Temba Bavuma's height, saying bauna bhi toh hai ye (dwarf in Hindi). The comment, made while discussing a potential DRS appeal, had teammates Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant chuckling.

However, the joke has raised questions about body shaming in sports. While Bumrah's intention may have been playful, his words highlight the fine line between banter and hurtful comments.
