What happened in the program?

Actually, the music launch program of Ram Charan’s upcoming film ‘Peddi’ was going on in Bhopal. After coming on stage, the host immediately started the question and answer session with him. Since Ram Charan is playing the role of a cricketer in the film, the host took the names of many Indian cricketers and asked for their opinion.

Ram Charan said beautiful and true things about Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but when Jasprit Bumrah’s name came up, he made a mistake.
