Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah recently shared a light-hearted story involving his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, from his debut Test series. Speaking on the chat show Who’s The Boss?, hosted by Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh, Bumrah recalled how he had planned a special gesture for Sanjana after taking his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Bumrah, who made his Test debut in South Africa in 2018, impressed with a five-wicket haul in the third Test at Centurion. However, when he looked to the stands to find Sanjana, she was missing, leaving him puzzled. Recalling the funny moment, he said he was eager to celebrate the milestone with Sanjana present in the stadium, but couldn’t locate her when it mattered most.
“I have a memory from my first Test match [series]. My previous match had not gone well, so I thought no problem, the next match will go well. And she was there, and I took five wickets. When I turned around, humara banda hi nahi khada hai udhar. Chai-samosa kha raha hai. [Our person is not there, eating chai-samosa].”
“I thought after taking five wickets, I’ll also make a little gesture. Maybe wave or something, but our madam was busy eating inside,” he added.
“Not True!”- Sanjana Ganesan Calls Out Bumrah’s Fun Story With A Laugh
Sharing her version, Sanjana Ganesan said she had briefly gone inside to watch the TV screens. She explained that she wears spectacles but usually avoids them, which makes it hard to see the action clearly on the field. Light-heartedly dismissing Jasprit Bumrah’s story, she responded:
“This story is not true. I had gone inside momentarily because I have spectacles, which I usually don’t wear. So, I can’t see things very clearly on the field. I had gone inside to watch it on the TV screens because there you can see their facial expressions clearly and you get to see the celebrations.”
“So, I went inside momentarily to just look at the TV screen and by then he had taken five wickets. He says that he has done something, but I honestly didn’t see anything,” Sanjana added.
What happens when Jasprit Bumrah & Sanjana Ganesan take the hot seat?
Laughter, honesty & love.
