Former England cricketer Isa Guha sparked outrage during commentary on Day 2 of the India vs. Australia 3rd Test by referring to Jasprit Bumrah as the "Most Valuable Primate." The remark, following Brett Lee's praise of Bumrah’s bowling, drew sharp criticism and comparisons to the 2008 'Monkeygate' scandal involving Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds. Social media erupted, calling Guha's comment racially insensitive. Meanwhile, bowling coach Morne Morkel admitted Indian bowlers failed to execute their plans effectively, allowing Australia to score 405/7 at the close of play. He urged the team to improve performance with the old ball.
