Billionaire Elon Musk and Google CEO on Tuesday reacted to the now-viral comments by Jasprit Bumrah asking a journalist to use Google to understand his batting prowess.
On Sunday, during a press conference on Day 3 of the ongoing test series against Australia, a reporter asked Bumrah, 31, about his assessment of the Indian batting considering conditions at the Gabba.
“What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?” the reporter asked.
Bumrah, who holds the record for most runs in an over in Tests, said, “It’s an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That’s another story.”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai, an avid cricket fan, watched the clip of Bumrah’s answer and took to X.
“I did Google it. Anyone who can hook Cummins for a six knows how to bat! Well done @Jaspritbumrah93. Saving the follow on with Deep!” Pichai wrote on X on Monday.
Elon Musk, who owns X, responded to Pichai’s post in just 12 minutes with a one-word response.
“Nice,” said Musk.
