Has Mohammad Kaif targeted Virat Kohli in the name of Bumrah? This question is because Mohammad Kaif has written something like this on his ex-handle. He has praised Jasprit Bumrah's celebration after taking the wicket of Travis Head, but has also advised the fans to choose their role model wisely, now the praise for Bumrah is understandable but Kaif left it for the fans. The message forces one to think whether in this way he is targeting Virat Kohli.
After reading and understanding the entire story, it is not difficult to guess whom Kaif is talking about? Of course he did not take the name, but from his words it is clear that the reference is towards Virat Kohli only. Let us first know whether Kaif wrote this on social media?
Mohammad Kaif wrote on his X handle - Look at Bumrah, how he is celebrating by taking the wicket of Australia's main batsman Travis Head? No angry send offs, no wild celebrations, just smiles on faces, kids can learn from this. They should choose their role models wisely.
How does Bumrah celebrate the dismissal of Australia's main man Travis Head? No over-the-top celebration, no angry send off, just a smile. Kids learn, choose your role models wisely. #INDvAUS

Travis Head could not open his account in the Melbourne Test against India. He took the wicket of Bumrah in just 7 balls in the first innings of the Melbourne Test. This is the first time in international cricket that Head has not scored any runs against India. Meaning he is out on zero. In this respect, this success achieved by India was big. Despite this, Bumrah had a simple celebration, which was praised by Kaif.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli came into limelight by pushing Australian debutant Sam Constance with his shoulder in the first session of the Melbourne Test. The matter got so serious that now a fine has also been imposed on him. Virat Kohli's match fee has been deducted by 20 percent. Kaif's statement seems to be aimed at this very action of Virat.
