During commentary England’s former woman international cricketer Isha Guha involved herself in a big after making a racially insensitive remark about Jasprit Bumrah on the second day of the ongoing third Test between India-Australia Test at Gabba, Brisbane on Sunday. 

In the opening hour of the play, Bumrah impressed Brett Lee also sitting in the commentary box after dismissing Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney. Lee while commentating for Fox Cricket commented, "Bumrah today: two wickets in five overs for only four runs, that is the tone and that you want from the ex-skipper." 

In response to Lee's appreciation, Guha sparked controversy with eyebrow-raising comments, referring to Bumrah as a 'primate'! "Well, he's the MVP, isn't he? Most valuable primate, Jasprit Bumrah,” she added.

The remark created a huge uproar in social media with a lot of protests, compared with the infamous 2008 'Monkey Gate' controversy when Harbhajan Singh was accused of using a racial slur by calling him a monkey by the late Andrew Symonds.

Bumrah was the only ray of hope on the day with 5 for 72, breaking Kapil Dev's record of scalping five wickets 12 times in test cricket and his eighth in SENA countries (South Africa, New Zealand, England, and Australia). 

Otherwise, it was Australia's dominance on the day as Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101) centuries took them to 405 for the loss of seven wickets at the close of the second day.
