Billionaire Elon Musk and Google CEO reacted on Tuesday to the viral comments made by Jasprit Bumrah, where he suggested that a journalist use Google to understand his batting abilities.
During a press conference on Day 3 of the ongoing Test series against Australia, a reporter asked Bumrah, 31, to assess the Indian batting performance, given the 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 the most runs in an over in Tests, responded, “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.”

Musk on Sundar Pichai’s praise for Jasprit Bumrah
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, a passionate cricket fan, watched the clip of Bumrah’s response and took to X to share his thoughts.
“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, the owner of X, replied to Pichai’s post just 12 minutes later with a simple one-word response:
“Nice,” said Musk.
Pichai and Musk’s reactions:
Nice

In response, Pichai suggested to Musk that they should watch a South Africa vs India cricket match together someday.
“Gotta watch a SA-IND game one day at Newlands or Wanderers,” Pichai said.
After Bumrah’s impressive batting performance on Tuesday, Google India also shared a post on their X account, saying, “I only believe in Jassi Bhai.”
Musk, 53, was born and raised in South Africa.
