Here’s the truth behind Bumrah unfollowing MI
Following a brief but thorough research, it has come to light that the swirling rumours regarding Bumrah’s decision to unfollow MI on Instagram are entirely unfounded. Contrary to the spreaded narrative, it has been confirmed that the Ahmedabad-born cricketer never followed the MI’s official account on the social media platform in the first place.
Interestingly, Bumrah’s Instagram activity reflects a deliberate choice to exclusively follow individuals, eschewing any allegiance to the specific IPL franchises. This disclosure underscores the need for caution in interpreting social media cues. It also highlights the importance of fact-checking before conclusions are drawn, especially in the age of rapid information dissemination and online speculation.
