Dale Steyn takes a jibe at Jasprit Bumrah after on-field altercation with Marco Jansen in IND vs SA 2nd Test
India's Jasprit Bumrah was involved in a heated exchange with South Africa's Marco Jansen during the 2nd Test on Wednesday. The verbal dual took place in the 55th over of India's second innings after Bumrah was peppered with some short-pitched deliveries by the left-hander.
While responding to a tweet, Dale Steyn recalled a similar incident involving Bumrah and James Anderson during India's tour of England in 2021. On that occasion, Bumrah repeatedly tested Anderson with bouncers in a 10-ball over, which led to an altercation between the two.
Here's how Dale Steyn responded to a tweet on the micro-blogging site:
"I swear I remember Bumrah doing the same thing to a Mr James Anderson not too long ago. Learn to take it kid."
That look from Marco at Bumrah. Yep, if you dish it out you will receive it.
@VincentBarnes60 I swear I remember Bumrah doing the same thing to a Mr James Anderson not too long ago.
Learn to take it kid.
Jasprit Bumrah's clash with James Anderson during India's tour of England last year caught the attention of cricket fans across the globe. The Indian bowler had to bowl a 10-ball over after overstepping the crease on four occasions. It was a tense affair with Anderson on the receiving end of multiple bouncers.
Notably, both Jasprit Bumrah and Marco Jansen have shared dressing rooms in the past. The two were a part of the Mumbai Indians team in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League.

The Dean Elgar-led side will have to chase down the target of 240 runs in the final innings of the encounter to level the 3-match Test series. Senior batters Anjinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara stepped up to score crucial half-centuries each to bail India out of trouble.
Test specialist Hanuma Vihari also grabbed his chance and made a significant impact with the bat. The right-hander remained unbeaten on 40. Shardul Thakur also contributed with 28 crucial runs lower down the order.
