The Peddi actor took to his social media handle X (Formerly Twitter), and tweeted, "Uff... I'm genuinely so forgetful with names sometimes. Apologies to @Jaspritbumrah93 Ji for the mix-up - it was a genuine human error in the middle of all the excitement and the crowd. I truly respect you, and I am a huge fan of your game. You make every Indian feel proud when you consistently put batsmen on back foot."
For the unversed, the actor was asked to describe some of the well-known cricket icons in a few words at the event. The actor reportedly called Sachin Tendulkar's sports career a "Long, Legendary run." He further referred to MS Dhoni as "calm and cool," Rohit Sharma as "everybody's man," and Virat Kohli as "Fire". However, when asked about Jasprit Bumrah, he mistakenly said, "Jasprit Bumrah ji, I am your biggest fan. I love football. Aap football ko itne aage bada rahe ho. (You're pushing football so far.) Love you."
