Jasprit Bumrah faces backlash from fans over icy reaction after hitting Abhinav Manohar
Jasprit Bumrah's full-toss hit Abhinav Manohar below the stomach.
New Delhi: Mumbai Indians' bowlers delivered a strong performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, limiting them to 143/8 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium despite favorable batting conditions. Trent Boult led the bowling attack with four wickets, supported by Deepak Chahar's two. Jasprit Bumrah's single wicket, which dismissed Heinrich Klaasen, proved particularly significant. Bumrah's aggressive bowling consistently pressured the SRH batsmen, who struggled throughout their innings.
A 31-year-old bowler's full toss struck Abhinav Manohar in the abdomen. However, the subsequent reaction drew more attention than the injury itself, particularly given Manohar's previous six off Bumrah in the preceding over.
In the second to last over, Jasprit Bumrah, yet to take a wicket, bowled a significantly inaccurate yorker that struck Manohar in the abdomen. Manohar fell to the ground, but Bumrah showed no concern, immediately returning to his bowling position.
The Indian fast bowler's response drew criticism.

#IPL2025 SRH vs MI – is Bumrah becoming arrogant? His Yorker hit Abhinav Manohar in the stomach and he casually walked away without even on single expression of concern for the batter.

Bumrah needs to grow some maturity as a human being ….
he should at least have checked if Abhinav Manohar is okay after hitting him badly with that full-toss beamer. #SRHvsMI

I think Jasprit Bumrah should've checked on the Abhinav Manohar instead of just turning and walking away. Do all bowlers usually react like this or Bumrah only ?#SRHvMI #MIvSRH #SRHvsMI pic.twitter.com/zQ61LTUs8k

Sorry to say but bumrah is not a sport.
Observed it multiples times now
When someone hits him up specially sixes, he gets angry towards that player. Previously karun, now manohar, after full toss did not even bother to check on him, because he had hit a six off him. #SRHvsMI

Manohar's impactful late-innings contribution of 43 runs from 37 balls, coupled with a vital 99-run partnership with Heinrich Klaasen (71), prevented Sunrisers Hyderabad from a low score.
Klaasen's innings of 44 balls, featuring nine fours and two sixes (strike rate 161.36), contrasted sharply with his teammates' performances. Manohar adopted a cautious approach initially, before increasing his tempo later in his innings, hitting three sixes and two fours before being dismissed in the final over.

Gukesh blunders against Caruana as Carlsen wins Norway Chess for seventh time
Last Updated: Stavanger (Norway), Jun 6 (PTI) Five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen clinched his seventh Norway Chess title after American Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana did a good turn by defeating star India player D Gukesh to grab three full points in the final round of Norway Chess here. It was an unforgettable day for Gukesh, who after being in a disadvantageous position against 2018 Norway Chess Champion Caruana tried to stage a comeback but with the Indian running out of time, he committed and immediately know his chances had evaporated with in a second. Gukesh offered a handshake with just two second left on the clock and then covered his face with his hands in frustration. Defending champion Carlsen ended the tournament with 16 points after drawing with the other Indian in the tournament, Arjun Erigaisi, from an unfavourable position. Caruana finished second with 15.5 points, while Gukesh ended third – the second time he has finished in as many Norway Chess tournaments – with 14.5 points. Erigaisi was fifth with 12.5 points. In the women's section, overnight leader and two-time world blitz champion, Ukraine's Anna Muzychuk won the title with 16.5 points despite an Armageddon tie-break loss to India's R. Vaishali in the final round. Muzychuk's draw in the classical game against the Indian earned both players a point each, while Vaishali secured another half a point by beating the Ukrainian in the Armageddon sudden death to finish on 11 points. The Norway Chess format gives three points for a classical win. In the event of a draw, the players share one point each, which is followed by the Armageddon tie-break, where the winner earns another half point. Had Vaishali defeated Muzychuk — who was on 15.5 points overnight — in the Classical game, she would have deprived the Ukrainian Grandmaster of three points, which would have propelled Koneru Humpy to the title had the two-time world rapid champion too got the better of Chinese world champion Ju Wenjun in the Classical game. Unfortunately, Humpy, who was on 13.5 points overnight after round 9, could only manage a draw with white pieces to earn one point. She got another half point by overcoming Wenjun in the Armageddon tie-break to earn 1.5 points, and finish with 15 points. PTI AM GSP First Published: June 07, 2025, 01:15 IST
