A hilarious moment unfolded during the India vs South Africa Test at Eden Gardens when Jasprit Bumrah unknowingly created a viral clip. The incident happened in the 13th over of Day 1 after India appealed for LBW against Temba Bavuma, but the umpire turned it down. As the Indian players gathered to discuss a possible review, Bumrah made a cheeky comment that instantly lightened the tense atmosphere.
While analysing the height factor for the LBW call, Bumrah jokingly referred to Bavuma as “bauna,” suggesting that his shorter stature might affect the ball-tracking. The stump mic caught the remark clearly, leading Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja to burst into laughter right behind the stumps.
Within moments of the clip hitting social media, fans turned it into one of the most talked-about moments of the Test. Memes, reactions, and funny edits took over timelines as cricket lovers enjoyed the unexpected humour from an otherwise calm Bumrah.

Despite the light-hearted exchange, India chose not to take the review—and replays later confirmed that the decision was correct, as the ball would have missed the stumps. Bavuma didn’t last too long afterward, falling shortly after to keep India in complete control.
The incident served as a reminder of the team’s camaraderie and how small moments of humour can break tension during high-pressure games, making the Test even more entertaining for fans around the world.
