Sanjana said on the show, "Whenever I went to the practice session, many players would say hi and hello to me. But Jasprit would just give me a strange look. No smile, no hi, nothing. I thought this person was either married or had a girlfriend, so maybe he doesn't talk."
Bumrah also explained his reason for remaining silent. He said, "Actually, I was a little shy. It is not easy for me to mingle with new people immediately. While being in the media, I would often overthink, so I didn't talk much."
