The 31-year-old posted on Instagram, 'Yes the rumours are true. I'm joining my 3rd blue team. Revealing tomorrow' as the netizens began speculating what could it be.
Netizens have made a host of speculations, with a section of them pointing out that Bumrah is showcasing his support for the Indian women's team as they will begin their 50-over World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on September 30. Others merely saw it as joining or signing a deal with a new brand.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old had been slightly out of form in Asia Cup but delivered the goods when it mattered. Bumrah snaffled figures of 3.1-0-25-2, dismissing Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz as he made a comeback after being hit for 24 in his first couple of overs. The Men in Green collapsed spectacularly to go from 113/1 to be bowled out for 146 in 19.1 overs.
Nevertheless, Pakistan pacers roared with the ball, sending the top three back to the pavilion cheaply as Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav couldn't contribute much to the total. Nevertheless, Tilak Varma kept their side afloat in the contest, thanks to two half-century partnerships with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube. It all came down to 10 needing off the final six deliveries and it was Rinku Singh, who struck the winning boundary. At the post-game presentation, the Hyderabad-born cricketer, who made an unbeaten 69* said, as quoted by Cricbuzz:
"It was pressure. They were bowling well. They were mixing the pace up. I was breathing and trying to stay calm. Fantastic knock from Samson. The way Dube batted under pressure was helpful and important for the country. We have prepared for every position. You should be flexible. I was prepared to bat at any position."
Kuldeep Yadav earned the Player of the tournament for his 17 scalps.
