In a recent episode of the YouTube show "Who's The Boss?", hosted by former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife, actress Geeta Basra, Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan shared a hilarious anecdote from before their wedding in 2021. Sanjana revealed that Bumrah had suggested they elope, a proposition she promptly countered with a witty response.
When Bumrah suggested they "run away" and elope, Sanjana quipped, "Tum run-up pe bhi nahi bhagte ho. Tum mere sath kya bhagoge?" which translates to "You don't even run during your run-up. So how will you run with me?". This playful jab at Bumrah's famously short and measured bowling run-up left him speechless and had everyone in splits. The humorous exchange quickly went viral, offering fans a glimpse into the couple's easygoing and fun-loving relationship.
Jasprit Bumrah, known for his devastatingly accurate bowling and ability to dismantle opposition batting lineups, found himself hilariously stumped by his wife's quick wit. Sanjana Ganesan, a well-known sports presenter, proved she's equally adept at delivering a perfect bouncer off the field.
Bumrah and Ganesan tied the knot in a private ceremony in Goa on March 15, 2021. The wedding was an intimate affair attended by close friends and family, with ceremonies blending Sikh and Tamilian traditions. Due to bio-bubble restrictions during a T20I series against England in Ahmedabad at the time, most of Bumrah's Indian teammates were unable to attend. In 2023, the couple welcomed their son, Angad Jasprit Bumrah.
The couple first met during an IPL interview, which sparked their friendship. Their romance began after they reconnected at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup. Jasprit proposed to Sanjana in November 2020, keeping their engagement private until their wedding announcement.
Sanjana, born on May 6, 1991, in Pune, is a sports journalist and anchor. She has hosted shows for major tournaments like the IPL, the ICC Cricket World Cup, and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Before her career in sports broadcasting, she was a contestant on MTV Splitsvilla in 2014.
The revelation of Bumrah's elopement proposal and Sanjana's epic reply has charmed fans, highlighting the couple's playful dynamic and strong bond. Their story, from a chance meeting to a loving family, is a blend of romance, support, and shared passions.
