You know he's out, but... when Jasprit Bumrah smiled and expressed his pain to the umpire

“You Know It’s Out, But Still…” – When Jasprit Bumrah’s Smile Told the Whole Story on the Pitch

Jasprit Bumrah’s Gentle Smile After Controversial Umpire Call Wins Fans’ Hearts

New Delhi, October 13, 2025:
Indian pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah, known for his fiery deliveries and calm temperament, once again showed why he’s not just a world-class bowler but also a true sportsman. A moment during India’s recent match went viral when Bumrah, despite being visibly disappointed by an umpiring decision, chose to respond not with anger—but with a smile.

The clip, now circulating widely across social media, shows Bumrah appealing confidently for a wicket that looked plumb LBW. Everyone—fans, commentators, and even fellow players—believed it was out. But to everyone’s surprise, the umpire shook his head. Instead of arguing or showing frustration, Bumrah simply smiled, nodded, and walked back to his mark.

“You Know It’s Out…” – Bumrah’s Priceless Reaction

Moments later, when the ball-tracking replay confirmed that the delivery would have hit the stumps, the cameras captured Bumrah sharing a light moment with the umpire. With a warm grin, he gestured lightly, as if saying, “You know it’s out, but still…” — a line that fans quickly turned into a meme on X (formerly Twitter).

Cricket lovers praised his composure and sense of humor. “Only Bumrah can express disappointment with elegance,” wrote one user, while another commented, “That smile said everything words couldn’t.”

The Internet Reacts

Within hours, the video clip garnered millions of views across social media platforms. Fans flooded the comment sections, calling the gesture a reflection of Bumrah’s sportsmanship and emotional maturity. Even former cricketers joined in, appreciating the fast bowler’s ability to stay calm under pressure.

One popular cricket page captioned the video: “Bumrah appeals to the heart, not just the umpire.” Another tweet read, “This is why Bumrah is different — aggression in performance, grace in reaction.”

The Match and the Moment

The incident took place during the second innings of the match, where Bumrah had already bowled a fiery spell, troubling the opposition with his pace and swing. The controversial moment came when he delivered a perfect in-swinging yorker that struck the batter’s pad in front of the middle stump.

While the umpire remained unconvinced, the DRS replay later confirmed that the ball would have hit the stumps flush. Unfortunately, India had already used its review earlier in the over, leaving Bumrah and his teammates helpless.

Fans Call It “The Smile of a Legend”

Cricket experts often highlight Bumrah’s composure as one of his biggest strengths. Unlike many aggressive fast bowlers who let emotions take over, Bumrah’s ability to maintain calm—even during moments of disagreement—sets him apart.

This latest incident only added to his reputation as one of cricket’s most graceful competitors. Fans dubbed it “The Smile of a Legend”, while others called it the most heartwarming moment of the match.

Sportsmanship Beyond Speed

For years, Bumrah has been India’s go-to bowler across all formats, known for his pinpoint yorkers and unorthodox action. But moments like this remind fans that cricket is more than just competition—it’s about respect, integrity, and grace.

As one user aptly commented, “Bumrah doesn’t just bowl with pace; he plays with heart.”
