“My favorite story, always and forever”: Sanjana Ganesan’s heartfelt Instagram post
Wrote on Instagram on his fifth marriage: “No matter where life takes us,
No matter how noisy the world is, it’s always there – you, me and a hug that feels like home. Been married to my best friend for five years. My favorite story, always and forever. A love story born on the cricket field.”
Sanjana and Bumrah’s love story has its roots in sports which brought them together. The pair first met during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England, where Sanjana was working as a presenter and Bumrah was starring for India. Over the next few months their professional paths crossed repeatedly and their relationship blossomed into romance.
After almost two years of dating, the couple surprised fans by announcing their engagement in February 2021. They held an intimate wedding ceremony at a resort in Goa on March 15 the same year, which was attended only by close family members due to COVID-19 restrictions. The low-key affair was a stark contrast to the lavish cricket weddings often seen in the game, reflecting the couple’s preference for privacy.
In September 2023, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Angad. Bumrah, who was recovering from a back injury at the time, took a brief paternity leave 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 limelight.
