In March of this year, Jasprit Bumrah took a vacation from cricket to marry renowned sports broadcaster, Sanjana Ganesan, in a special ceremony in Goa. Until this year, few people knew much about Bumrah’s romance, and they were eager to learn every element, such as how it began and what their initial impression of one other was.
Bumrah got down with Dinesh Karthik and revealed some details about their romance. It all started during the 2019 ODI World Cup in England, according to Bumrah.
While things proceeded smoothly after they started talking to each other, the main issue was that neither of them wanted to start the conversation because they both perceived each other to be “arrogant”.
“I had obviously seen her a lot of times but we had the same problem with each other. She thought I was really arrogant, I thought she was really arrogant so we never really spoke,” Bumrah told Karthik during an interview with Sky Sports.
Bumrah was a newcomer to international cricket at the time, but he quickly established himself as a key member of India’s pace attack. Sanjana had also traveled to England to cover the event as a broadcaster, and things began to take off from there. They were friends first, then grew affection for one another.
“I spoke to her for the first time during the 2019 World Cup when she was here covering the event. We became friends and started talking a lot. It’s been good, we have been married for five months now, so yeah very happy,” Bumrah added.
Bumrah considers himself fortunate to have a life partner who is familiar with the game and understands how stressful it can be for players when things don’t go their way.
“She understands the sport, she understands what the player goes through, so whenever things don’t go well or go well, we have a lot of interesting conversations, that really helps me. And, obviously, playing cricket and traveling all the time, you’ve got your wife with you now, so, you really have to focus on other things as well”. According to Mensxp
