Sanjana Ganesan Shares Heartwarming Photo After Jasprit Bumrah's Five-Wicket Haul
Sanjana Ganesan, wife of Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah, shared a touching photo on Instagram, seemingly featuring their son Angad, shortly after Bumrah's impressive five-wicket performance against England at Headingley.
Ganesan's Instagram Story showed a child holding a red cricket ball, accompanied by the words "England", "Jasprit Bumrah," and his bowling figures of "24.4-5-83-5".
Bumrah's performance was a standout for the Indian bowling attack in Leeds. He claimed the wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Josh Tongue, achieving figures of 5/83. Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the other wicket-takers as England scored 465, just six runs short of India's first innings total of 471.
During a press conference, Jasprit Bumrah commented on the bowling conditions, "At this moment pretty good wicket to bat on. It is a little bit two paced, no big demons in wicket. Due to weather, new ball will swing but that is what you expect in Test cricket. We would like to get a big total and get that cushion."
Bumrah acknowledged the dropped catches during the match, stating, "Yeah, just for a second. But you understand that you can't really sit down and cry, isn't it? You have to move forward with the game. So, what I look to do is not to take it too far in my head and try and quickly forget it because all of them are also new to the game."
He further added, "Sometimes the ball is difficult to sight and nobody is dropping the catch purposely. Everybody is trying really hard. It does happen. So, I don't want to create a scene or put more pressure on the fielder that I'm angry, I'm kicking the box or I'm doing something. It's okay."
"It's part and parcel of the game. Obviously, if it (catches) would have been taken earlier, that's good, but people will learn from this experience," he concluded.
