Indian cricket’s power couple’s love story is straight out of a romance novel...

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan’s love story is one that seems to have been crafted from the minds of a particularly imaginative romance author. Everything about their story, from the way they met to how they hype each other up, is the stuff great romance novels are made of.
The cricketer, who is currently playing in the ongoing Test series against England, has made headlines once again because of his performance. While he displayed his formidable form despite a few misses at the start, his detractors weren’t having it. When the criticism got too much, his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, wasted zero time before defending him. “In the short time that I’ve known and been married to a professional athlete, I’ve realised that people don’t know every aspect of your life—they only know what you choose to show them. They know Jasprit Bumrah on a cricket field, but they don’t know what he’s like at home or off the field.”
Whether it’s speaking up for the other or celebrating each other’s wins, Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan are the blueprint for the kind of relationship we all aspire to have. Here’s a quick walk down memory lane to chart where it all started for them and how far they’ve come…
During the 2013-14 Indian Premier League season, the fast bowler and the former Miss India contestant met each other for the first time. Sanjana Ganesan interviews Jasprit Bumrah after the match, and the millions watching had no idea that the seeds of a beautiful relationship had been planted.

While the couple kept their growing bond under wraps, eagle-eyed fans noticed sparks between the two during the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, where Sanjana Ganesan was the host.
The couple began to appear together in public soon after the World Cup. They attended several events with each other, essentially confirming that they were dating.
In November 2020, Jasprit Bumrah popped the question to Sanjana Ganesan and the two got engaged.
On 15 March 2023, the couple tied the knot in a three-day-long, intimate ceremony in Goa. Both the bride and groom wore Sabyasachi ensembles while celebrating their union with their close friends and family.

In September 2023, the couple welcomed their baby boy, Angad. The newly minted father shared the update on Instagram, writing, “Our little family has grown and our hearts are fuller than we could ever imagine.”

Since then, the couple has continued with their displays of love for each other on social media, giving their fans a glimpse at their life over the years. Indian cricket’s power couple remain a formidable duo on the field and off the field, and we can’t wait to witness the next chapters in their lives.
