Former West Indies cricketer Michael Holding seemed surprised to see Indian fans holding placards, which called pacer Jasprit Bumrah as ‘Boom Boom’.
‘Boom Boom’ was the nickname famously associated with Pakistan’s former captain and flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi.
“Boom Boom is usually Afridi,” said Holding while doing a commentary stint during the first Test between England and India.
Afridi was given the nickname by former Indian cricketer, Ravi Shastri, who is also the current head coach of the Men in Blue.
Meanwhile, Bumrah is also known as ‘Boom Boom’ in Indian cricket fraternity and something which was confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in a Twitter post few years back.
