Sanjana Ganeson, wife of sports presenter and Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, opened up how life changed after becoming a parent. Speaking on the ‘Moment of Silence’ podcast, Sanjana said that in September 2023, his son Angad brought a big innings – not only in his personal life, but also in Bumrah’s cricket. “When we first caught our child, Jasprit was actually playing in the Asia Cup,” she said. “He flew back back in time. I don’t want to say it very loudly, but I think he has become a better cricketer because Angad was born. When you have a peaceful house to return, where you can only be a father and a husband, it helps a lot.”
Sanjana also talked about the wives of other cricketers. He said that each of them is very different like players. “Everyone’s personality is unique. Sometimes I interview a player and then meet my wife and meet in the stand and I think – yes, I get it. It is like Yin and Yang. He is actually the same in life what he wanted,” she shared.Quiz: Who is that IPL player? Talking about his own on-camera moments with Bumrah, Sanjana laughed and said how he tries to distract him during the interview. “After the T20 World Cup win, I was interviewing him and he kept doing funny things – blinking or smiling – just to throw me. He knows that when I am very difficult focusing and tries to break it.” Outside the field, Sanjana said that his bond is strong and easy. “She is my best gossip friend,” she smiled. “We will lie on the bed, eat some chocolate, see Netflix, and then just talk about our day. This is our comfortable place.”
