Bumrah was well-equipped to face Yuvraj's questions.
Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh managed to put ace Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah in a fix with a few rapid-fire questions in their Instagram LIVE session. As expected, Bumrah was well-equipped to nail the yorkers on those questions as well.
The duo had some interesting discussions about topics like the importance of Test cricket, the impact of social media on youngsters among a few fun and controversial rapid-fire questions. Yuvraj asked him to pick cricketers by giving him choices.

He asked Bumrah, “Who do you think is the best batsman? Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar”
The 26-year-old answered it quite well saying, “Yuvi pa, look it’s been only 4 years I have been playing international cricket. I am giving you a long answer. I am not experienced enough to judge them. Virat Tendulkar or Sachin Kohli. I am in no position because they have played a lot more cricket than me.”
However, Yuvraj was stubborn and put him in a jiffy. He said, “I am not asking for your autobiography here. You were told the rules of the round clearly. You needed to answer each question in less than 5 seconds. I want a clear answer. Between them, who is your favorite”
Bumrah had no option but to give him a name. And thus, he said, “This is like asking me to choose between you and Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni). Everybody is the same for me. I have equal respect for all of you. Paaji ki fan toh puri duniya hai, Virat khud bhi hai toh mai paaji ka nam lunga, Sachin sir (The whole world is a fan of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat himself is his fan so I will go with Sachin Tendulkar).”
Some other questions that were asked:
Yuvraj: Virat Kohli or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will be your fitness idol?
Bumrah: Zlatan. Not my fitness idol but he is my idol in general
Yuvraj: Who do you think is a better off-spinner? R Ashwin or Harbhajan Singh
Bumrah: Why so many controversial questions for me? I have played with Ash (Ashwin). But I have grown up seeing Harbhajan Singh. So Bhajju pa, it is.
