India’s premier limited overs seamer, Jasprit Bumrah, in recent developments, posted an emotional quote directed at the travesty of Steve Smith.
The disgraced Australian captain, after almost being deported from South Africa, had to face the media back home immediately. In the brief interaction, an apologetic Steve Smith, could not hold back his tears as he broke down repeatedly.
On the other side of Australia, Cameron Bancroft delivered his emotional speech at his hometown in Perth.
The West Australian tried his level best to hold his tears, and much like Smith was apologetic to the masses in Australia. Both Smith and Bancroft were open to face the consequences of their actions.
Following the press conference, the cricketing community offered their sympathies and emotional support to the two visibly devastated Australians.
“When someone does something wrong, don’t forget all the things they did right,” posted Jasprit Bumrah immediately, looking at Smith’s emotional press conference.

It wasn’t just limited to Bumrah as the likes of Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, Michael Vaughan, also joined in to support the devastated Aussies.
“‘Good people make mistakes’ .. I honestly think Steve Smith & Cam Bancroft are decent guys who had a moment of madness .. they deserve a 2nd chance and hopefully get the right support around them now .. Takes a lot of guts to do what they did today,” tweeted Michael Vaughan.
“The video of Steve Smith being escorted at the airport and his recent press conference resonated with me. The spirit of the game is of utmost importance and there’s no denying that,” tweeted Rohit Sharma.
“They made a mistake and they accepted that. It would be unfair of me to sit here and question the boards’ decision but they are great players and I don’t this should define them,” added the Mumbai batsman in his note attached to his tweet.
