The paragraph beginning "He grabbed the eyeballs ... " seems to have been taken word for word from "Cricket Today - Weekly 2017: November 24, 2017". See here (p17).-- Megaton Sheriff ( talk) 05:41, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
The section "He started his bowling career by playing for the Gujarat under-19 team. He made his Indian Premier League debut with the Mumbai Indians in 2013. He showed some promise in his bowling with some pace and swing, he has impressed many in the IPL with his bowling figures, in his debut match of IPL 2013 he took 3 wickets for 32 runs against the Royal Challengers Banglore" in "Domestic Cricket"seems to have been taken from this. The date of the Quora article, Feb 22 2016 (posted by Raj Jain) predates its being posted to Wikipedia. Megaton Sheriff ( talk) 10:35, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Someone keeps adding that Bumrah was involved in a "doping scam" with no understanding of what either doping or scam means. 106.205.1.200 ( talk) 13:29, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
1. If the "injections" that helped Bumrah achieve fitness are not detected in anti-doping tests as said by Chetan Sharma himself, then using these injections, by definition, is not doping.
2. "Doping scam" doesn't even mean anything. There is no scam involved.
3. Bumrah underwent a doping test before the 2019 World Cup and passed it since he played the 2019 World Cup. Chetan Sharma said he used the injections before the 2021 India-Sri Lanka series. The page is currently edited in a way to suggest the two events are related and it fails to mention anything about him never failing a doping test.
The editor who keeps adding all this highly misinformed mess should be banned for vandalism. 14.139.38.169 ( talk) 08:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for flagging this. I've had a look at the last 3 months of page edits, the three sources cited by the editors adding these claims, and WP's policies on semi-protection, edit warring, biographies of living persons, verifiability, and reliable sources.
The edits in question appear to be in good faith, rather than obvious vandalism. Edit warring is present - the claims in question have repeatedly been added and removed by different editors. While most of the parties involved are IP editors, with few edits to pages other than this one, at this stage I'd rather not submit an admin semi-protection request, as I think there's a possibility we can resolve the disagreement ourselves.
One of the sources ( https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/jasprit-bumrah-undergoes-doping-test-119060301229_1.html) is a short article about Bumrah undertaking a routine doping test in 2019. As 14.139.38.169 has noted, it's irrelevant to the claims it's being used to support.
The other two sources ( https://thecricketlounge.com/chetan-sharma-sting-by-zee-news, https://www.mensxp.com/health/celebrity-fitness/129345-chetan-sharma-sting-operation-chief-selector-accuses-jasprit-bumrah-others-of-using-fake-injections.html) are news outlets reporting on a Feb 2023 'sting' recording of the BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma by Zee News: https://zeenews.india.com/cricket/live-updates/chetan-sharma-sting-operation-live-updates-bccis-selection-committee-chairman-reveals-how-team-india-players-take-fake-injections-2573280. Zee News, the publisher of this video is unlikely to meet WP reliability standards, as they "[have] been involved in several controversies and [have] broadcast fabricated news stories on multiple occasions". However, the video itself could be considered a separate, primary source; its publication led to Sharma submitting his resignation three days later.
Despite this, on current sourcing, I don't think this is sufficient to back up the claim that "Bumrah was alleged to have taken injections ... against anti-doping rules". Wikipedia policy for use of primary sources in biographies of living persons states "Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. ... Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies. // Please note that exceptional claims require exceptional sources."
Even aside from the sourcing issue, Zee News' own video summary doesn't clearly back up this claim: "Jaspirt [sic] Bumrah was unable to bend as he had a major injury other than that there are one or two players who take injections in private and says that they are fit to play // No! I am talking about injections. If they take pain-killer than it will come in dopping [sic]. Team India players are aware about which injections come in anti-doping."
Based on all this, I'm removing the claims in question - they're not currently well-sourced enough to meet WP editorial policy on biographies of living persons. Special:Contributions/2409:4088:AE02:BDE9:5CF1:2A1F:DA60:28A7, Special:Contributions/47.11.197.248, Special:Contributions/47.11.202.82, if you disagree with this, please discuss it here on the talk page before editing further - hopefully we can either come to a consensus, or find someone with more policy expertise to help out here.

On the manual of style, MOS:CONTRACTIONS encourages us not to use contractions, ‘did not’ instead of ‘didn’t’. That is the only one I have spotted in the article. The specific cricket style advice (which is an essay rather than a guideline) suggests the One Day International should be unhyphenated; it is currently hyphenated in the lead. Otherwise there are no issues with MOS.
(b) In terms of focus, the level of detail fluctuates. More often than not, the article sticks to summary style, but sometimes there is more detail than needed. For example, in the description of the 2023 World Cup it seems that most matches that Bumrah played in are mentioned. As an alternative, a summary of his overall performance (joint fourth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament) and the team's performance (runner-up) would be enough. For a player who only featured in one World Cup, or a small number of international matches, more information would be fine, but a lot has happened in Bumrah's career already and there is going to be more to cover. To fit it in without the page becoming too long, the article needs to stick to a summary style.
Mostly a case of some light editing needed rather than anything egregious.

QPQ: None required. |
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria. Was nominated within 5 days of being promoted to GA. Meets length criteria. No issues with tone. No major concerns with sourcing. Earwig's throws a high score, but, that can be attributed to a couple of direct quotes. So, no major concern there. Nominator seems to have less than five DYK nominations and hence does not have a QPQ requirement.
ALT0: I am unable to access The Indian Express article. Seems to be throwing a paywall error for me. However, with the statement provided by the nominator Bumrah smashed two sixes and four fours to amass 29 runs with 6 runs added as extras and created a world record for scoring the most runs in an over in Test cricket.
, it seems like this one is correct. However, doing a couple of Google searches, it seems like Broad conceding 35 runs is definitely the highest in an over in test matches, but, can we confirm with other sources as well that Bumrah having scored 29 runs holds the record for the highest runs in an over in tests? Also, the article is from 2022. We should ensure that nothing has happened to break this record in the years since then.
ALT1: Validated by the statement from India Today. Important to note. Fastest indian pacer to get to 150 wickets. Would be good to wikilink pacer.
ALT2: Validated by the LiveMint article. Would be nice to wikilink some of the terms here.
Overall once we get clarity on ALT0, if we go with it, my preference would be ALT0 or ALT1 over ALT2.
Question for the nominator -- are there any other interesting facts other than stats oriented that you could find? Would be nice to give that a shot. Ktin ( talk) 03:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
