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.

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.
