After the World Cup 2023 heartache, Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian pace maestro, sought solace in family. Following the tournament’s dismay, he recently graced social media with a heartwarming sight—cradling his newborn son in a tender moment. The image radiated paternal bliss, capturing the right-arm pacer’s affectionate smile directed at his little bundle of joy. Born on September 4 this year, Bumrah and his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, welcomed their baby boy into the world.
In this latest post, the camaraderie between the couple shone through. Sanjana Ganesan, a famed sports presenter, joined the affectionate exchange. While Bumrah referred to their newborn as “My little sunshine,” Sanjana commented on the picture by writing “My favourite boys,” drawing adoration from netizens and fans alike. However, the picture was posted concealing the baby’s face with a sun emoji.

The union between the Ahmedabad pacer and Sanjana was a discreet affair as they kept quiet around it contrary to the more publicized relationships of their celebrity counterparts. Their March 2021 marriage, nestled within the picturesque realms of Goa, avoided the spotlight that often accompanies such unions.
Bumrah finds solace in family post World Cup debacle
Renowned as the pace spearhead of the Indian cricket squad, the right-arm pacer’s recent rest from the ongoing T20I series against Australia comes on the heels of a strenuous Cricket World Cup campaign. India, currently led by Suryakumar Yadav in the absence of regular skipper Hardik Pandya, stands at 1-0 in the series after a narrow victory in the opening game.
Pandya continues his absence due to an ankle injury sustained during the World Cup clash against Bangladesh on October 19. While the World Cup final loss to Australia in Ahmedabad on November 19 weighs heavily, the 29-year-old’s focus on familial joy seems to provide a comforting respite amid the rigors of professional cricket.
