Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to Jasprit Bumrah's viral 'Google it' jibe at a journalist questioning his batting ability. The Indian-American CEO told the South African-born industrialist that they should watch an India Vs South Africa match someday.
During a press conference after the 4th day of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia, a journalist asked Bumrah, "What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?"
Bumrah and his compatriot Akash Deep had just pulled of a mini-heist in helping India avoid a follow-on that day.
Responding to the question, Bumrah said, "It's an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That's another story.”
Bumrah holds the record for most runs in a Test match over, scoring 35 runs off Stuart Broad in 2022 against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Commenting on a video posted on X of the response, Pichai said, "I did Google it:) anyone who can hook Cummins for a six knows how to bat! Well done @Jaspritbumrah93 saving the follow on with Deep!"
Musk replied to that with a simple, "Nice!", to which Pichai said, "Gotta watch a SA-IND game one day at Newlands or Wanderers:)"
Google India's official X account also retweeted the response with, "I only believe in Jassi Bhai".
This was followed by another post, where they shared the Google answer to the question, "Best Indian Test bowler in Aus", which showed up as Jasprit Bumrah.
"Game changer player he is" the post said, referring to the viral meme of Mohammed Siraj's comments after India had won the T20I World Cup.India drew the third Test after a rain spoilt the 5th day of the match.
