‘Will be bowled’: Kerala Police uses Bumrah’s aeroplane crash gesture to warn overspeeding drivers

Kerala: Inspired by Jasprit Bumrah’s viral “aeroplane crash” celebration in the Asia Cup final, Kerala Police on Monday turned cricket theatrics into a clever public safety message.

The post read:

"Don’t think you can escape Excessive speed and overconfidence invite accidents on the roads. Report traffic violations with photos/videos, location, and time to WhatsApp number 9747001099."

Kerala Police used humour and creativity to underline a serious point: over-speeding and overconfidence on roads can have dangerous consequences. Citizens are urged to report traffic offences with details to help authorities keep streets safe.

Cricket rivalry meets road safety

The image cleverly referenced the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry. It shows Haris Rauf’s fighter-jet gesture alongside Bumrah’s counter “aeroplane crash” move. Kerala Police captioned it to suggest that just as Bumrah bowled Rauf, reckless drivers will be “bowled” by law enforcement.
