IND vs AUS: Isa Guha apologizes to Jasprit Bumrah for racial remarks!

Racial remarks on Jasprit Bumrah have created an uproar in the cricket world. Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the cricket world at the moment and he has got a 5-wicket haul in the India vs Australia third test match. The famous female commentator has used the word ‘primate’ for Bumrah, which means ‘monkey’ in Hindi. Due to this comment made in reference to monkeys, the years old ‘Monkey Gate Scandal’ has again come into discussion.

Bumrah had taken 2 wickets in the first session of the second day in the Brisbane Test, when Australian legend Brett Lee praised him highly. Then English commentator Isa Guha said something, which has now become a matter of great controversy. She said, “Bumrah is the MVP of the team. Most Valuable Primate Jasprit Bumrah. He has been the most effective for India. Why is there so much focus on him for this Test match?”

Now Isa Guha apologized

English commentator Isa Guha has now apologized for his ‘primate’ comment. He says that his aim was only to give respect to Jasprit Bumrah. Apologizing, she said, “I used a word during my commentary yesterday, which can have a thousand meanings. I want to apologize to anyone who was hurt by my comment. I respect others a lot. .”

The word ‘primate’ is seen to mean a human being with a large brain. But it became a cause of controversy because the mention of ‘Vanar’ brought back memories of the ‘Monkeygate Scandal’ that took place in 2008. Actually, in 2008, a match was being played between India and Australia in Sydney. At that time, India’s legendary spin bowler Harbhajan Singh was accused of addressing Andrew Symonds as ‘monkey’.At that time, Harbhajan Singh was suspended for three matches for violating the rules. Well, if we talk about the Brisbane Test being played in 2024, people have started trolling Isa Guha on social media as soon as she called him ‘Primate’.
