On the occasion of their fifth wedding anniversary, ICC Digital Insider Sanjana Ganesan melted hearts across social media with a loving tribute to her husband, Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.

“My favourite story, always and forever”: Sanjana Ganesan’s heartfelt Instagram post
Taking to Instagram on their fifth marriage wrote: “no matter where life takes us,
no matter how loud the world gets, there’s always this – you, me and a hug that feels like home. Five years married to my best friend. My favourite story, always and forever. A Love Story Born on the Cricket Field.”
Sanjana and Bumrah’s love story has its roots in the game that brought them together. The couple first met during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England, where Sanjana was working as a presenter and Bumrah was starring for India. Their professional paths crossed repeatedly over the following months, with their connection blossoming into romance.
After nearly two years of dating, the couple surprised fans by announcing their engagement in February 2021. They followed up with an intimate wedding ceremony on March 15 that same year at a resort in Goa, attended only by close family members due to COVID-19 restrictions. The low-key affair stood in stark contrast to the grand cricketing weddings the sport has often witnessed, reflecting the couple’s preference for privacy.
In September 2023, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Angad. Bumrah, who had been recovering from a back injury at the time, took a brief paternity break before returning to international cricket. Since becoming parents, both Sanjana and Bumrah have occasionally shared glimpses of their family life, carefully balancing public affection with their desire to keep Angad away from the spotlight.

The anniversary celebration comes at the peak of Bumrah’s professional career. Just one week ago, the 32-year-old pacer delivered a match-winning spell of 4/15 in the T20 World Cup 2026 final against New Zealand at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, earning the Player of the Match award and cementing his legacy as one of India’s greatest match-winners. He also finished as the tournament’s joint-leading wicket-taker alongside Varun Chakravarthy, with 14 scalps at an astonishing average of 12.43.
Meanwhile, for Sanjana, the past year has been equally eventful. She has established herself as one of the ICC’s most prominent presenters, covering major tournaments worldwide while also hosting her own cricket podcast. Her professional commitments have occasionally overlapped with Bumrah’s playing schedule – most notably during the 2025 tour of Australia, where Sanjana conducted several on-field interviews with her husband, much to fans’ delight.
