Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan became proud parents to a young son and named him ‘Angad’ on Monday. Bumrah has flown back to India for the berth of his son and will miss Team India’s next Asia Cup 2023 match against Nepal on Monday.

Bumrah announced the birth of his son Angad on a post on social media on Monday. “Our little family has grown & our hearts are fuller than we could ever imagine! This morning we welcomed our little boy, Angad Jasprit Bumrah into the world. We are over the moon and can’t wait for everything this new chapter of our lives brings with it – Jasprit and Sanjana,” Bumrah posted on ‘X’, earlier known as Twitter.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to join back the Indian squad ahead of Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday. 

The Mumbai Indians pacer made a comeback into international cricket after a gap of almost 11 months, leading the side against Ireland in a 2-0 T20I series win.

Bumrah played in the first Asia Cup 2023 match against Pakistan at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Saturday but didn’t get the opportunity to bowl as the match was washed out with a ball being bowled in the second innings of the game. The Team India pacer has claimed 121 wickets in 73 ODIs at an average of 24.3 with a best of 6/19.

Bumrah and sports anchor Sanjana Ganesan met for the first time on the sidelines of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2013 season. The couple started dating in 2019 before they got married in a private ceremony in Goa in February 2021.

Sanjana Ganesan is a popular cricket presenter and a former model as well. Sanjana was a participant in the MTV reality show ‘Splitsvilla’. She began her career in a IT company and back in 2012 took part in Femina Style Diva competition. She won the ‘Femina Officially Gorgeous’.
