I mean Bumrah doesn't look like someone who cares for captaincy. The guy is a gem. So this story is not related to news of him not getting captaincy, he is just hurt after the world Cup loses.

Bumrah is not happy it seems. Captaincy?

Hardik Pandya came, SKY is also there

When Deepak Chahar gone for 14Cr he laughed and he might have gone for higher price if MI released him instead of Hardik Pandya in that auction

Bumrah is not happy with Rohit Sharma being disrespected by the Mumbai Indians.
