Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah (ANI) Jasprit Bumrah is widely celebrated for his pinpoint accuracy on the cricket field, whether with the new ball in Tests or during the final overs of T20s. His meticulous planning and research of the opposition batsmen became well-known among cricket fans. But according to teammate Axar Patel, there is another side to Bumrah that not many people know about – his passion for perfume.Speaking on YouTube channel 2 Sloggers, Axar shared some light-hearted observations about Bumrah’s perfume collection. He explained that Bumrah invests deeply in fragrances and even checks the percentage of oil and perfume in each bottle, while the rest of the team simply smells the perfume, decides if it is strong enough and moves on.

The conversation turned to Bumrah’s plans outside of cricket, with one YouTuber joking if it was a hobby after retirement. Axar laughed and said, “Jassi Bhai dekhlena, partner cardena,” hinting that Bumrah might even bring a teammate into the perfume business.Axar also shared a humorous story on the show about a bet he won against Bumrah. Recalling the incident, he said Bumrah had promised Mohammed Siraj to gift him a perfume during the Test match against West Indies in Delhi. According to Axar, West Indies vice-captain Jomel Warrican may have casually asked which perfume it was because he liked the smell, and Siraj then insisted that Bumrah give it to him because he liked it so much. Axar added how he also got into the fun. “Tho isme meine sirf flow flow mein Boom bhai bole ab uske jagah mein tume dunga,” he said, meaning Bumrah decided to gift him the perfume too in the flow of the moment. The stories offer a lighter, more personal side to one of India’s most formidable fast bowlers, and show that off the field, Bumrah’s meticulous nature extends to his love of fragrances.
